trailer tires are designed with stiff sidewalls that keep the wheels going straight as they are designed to do for a trailer. They would be a very bad choice for the front wheels that turn and have sideloads (which is why they make radial tires), but for the back wheels of a truck, might be ok, the quality issue notwithstanding.

They look good, but I don't know if they are the "circle S" ones. They will be used for drives until I can afford proper tires. Thoughts please.  |
