Hogasm and Puzzled,what brand were the 150/18's and what profile were they?Bias or radial? The only one I have specs for is Metzeler 150/70B18 at 739#.

Rear tire.....160/60VR-18" 149mph radial

new tire 150/70VB-18" 149mph bias

can't find the load ratings.

I have a Metzler 150 at 739#

The 140 Metz is 805#

Most of the other brands I looked at had considerably lower weight ratings.
Kenda is 675# for a 140.
Duro is 677# for a 140. A new company here in the states I was willing to try.
Avon is #635 for a 140.

Is that the same tire company that makes the POS tires for trailers?

More than likely.

I have a 30' Sunnybrook trailer, and because of this site I found a similar site for the Sunnybrook's.

There were a lot of horror stories about the Kenda's, especially with the bigger trailers.

Enough so that people were changing them out to the Goodyear's, sometimes before the trailers were taken off the lot.

Most of the time the failures were only one tire, but several times there were catastrophic failures of two, probably in quick succession because of the sudden load increase. Some of these doubles resulted in rollovers.

I have Goodyear "E"'s on mine

And when I ordered my bike trailer I spec-ed it with Goodyear's.
