These are trailer tires for a boat trailer. So a lot of these categories don't apply as they would with a passenger vehicle.....but I can report I am very happy with them! The boat and trailer are 6000 pounds together, 12 years old, and I replace tires every 5-6 years for age/safety purposes. So, this is the second time I have replaced the four trailer tires and the third set that has been on the trailer since new. These are the best tires I have used so far. I did step up to a Load Range D from the Load Range C that came on the trailer, and which I used for the second set. I can tell a big difference, the trailer is riding more firmly and pulls & tracks much better. So, they seem to be a durable and well-made tire. The mom & pop tire store I used to mount them was impressed with them for the price, and wanted to know where I got them! They said it was a better tire than anything they could get from their wholesaler, for the price.

I bought these for a boat trailer, so the ratings categories are a little inapplicable....but I have been very happy with them for the price. I keep the boat and trailer in covered storage and pull it to the lake a dozen or so times a summer. The trailer came with Load Range C and I have had a couple of blowouts though they were not that old. I moved up to these with a Load Range D, same size, thinking a little stouter tire might be better. You can tell they ride firmer when pulling the trailer. The trailer is bouncing over the bumps a little more than it used to, but that's what I was looking for, a tougher tire. The boat and trailer together are about 6,000 pounds.
