I bought their 1,195lb rated 48x12 trailer 14 years ago for using as a utility trailer. I noticed that the tires were cracking recently because they were... 14 years old. Figured it was time. I found something interesting: the 4.8x12 Carlise tires at Walmart (which I wound up buying) are load range B and rated for 785lb at 60psi. The Duro's I had were LRB and rated at 780lb. But the new tires at HF are LRB and rated for... 585lb. ? Pretty big discrepancy. I thought same load range would keep tire rating more closely together, guess not. I had assumed that buying the same sized trailer tire in the same load range was going to get me the same tire, but you know what they say about assuming.
Maybe I'm missing something here. Maybe not. As always, buyer beware. I know some out there have HF trailers and might be tempted to buy tires at HF. Technically their tire is rated for the load, but it didn't leave me a warm and fuzzy feeling--ergo I don't have HF tires anymore on mine.
