Gladiator Trailer Tires

Tire Review & Update --- 3 years ago we installed a pair of Gladiator QR 25 - TS on our PS 205 single axle trailer. We just returned from a 2,000 mile round trip and the tires are still rolling right along. This brings the total mileage on the tires to just under 10,000 and mostly highway at 70 - 75 mph. These tires have a stiff sidewall and the trailer tracks dead on behind our Yukon with no side to side shimmy. These tires are a big improvement over the two sets of the Goodyear Marathons we ran through before installing the Gladiators. BTW, we never wore out the Goodyears, both sets had sidewall failure.

Whenever we trailer long distances we are always concerned about the trailer, bearings, tires etc. ....however since installing the Gladiators we no longer worry about tire failure.

If you are in the market for new trailer tires do not pass-up looking at the Gladiators. Current on-line price is $84.00. Tough to find at "Auto Tire stores" look for the locations that service commercial tires for large trucks, horse trailers or construction utility trailers.
