Gladiator Trailer Tires, how's the quality?

truckofwinandawesome · December 20, 2013

Okay, we just bought a set of Gladiator 205/75R14 tires for a 10' single axle tip trailer that we've had for years (the old tires were dry rotten, and only one was still holding air) has anyone had this brand of trailer tires, and how did they wear? How long did they last before replacement? Any advice is appreciated.

We had a large version on the stock trailer. They wore evenly. Not sure of the mileage since they were on a trailer but I'd guess 20k out of a set. This is on a trailer weighing ~10k fully loaded.

Seems like we are a little late to the party here. I assume you either bought ST tires or LT tires. Which ones are they? If ST tires-do they have the nylon cap overlay? I would not install any ST tire on any trailer before I verified the tires are constructed with THE NYLON CAP OVERLAY.

Maxxis is one of the ST tires that have the nylon cap overlay.

I bought a set of the Gladiator trailer tires for my 20 foot car hauler about 3 years ago. One of the tires separated. The dealer replaced it at no charge. A while later, another one separated. I had to pay to have it replaced. The dealer told me they could no longer get the Gladiator tires and it was replaced with a different brand.

These tires didn't have all that many miles on them, and my trailer isn't very heavy. I don't recommend the Gladiator tires.
