i know these tires are not ideal and not made to last too long

but we bought 4 loadstar 8x14.5s from discount tire.. load range G!


the first 1 popped 200 yards down the dirt road to Area BFE in moab so we had about 230 miles on it..( driver rear) hole with a cross grain tear

unloaded the buggys and pulled the empty trailer the rest of the way to bfe

at the gate i was stopped and told passanger rear had about 1 foot of tread separated and flapping around.

on the way home we stopped in price... parked in a puddle.. and noticed the passanger front tire was making bubbles..

got it patched.


made it home.


looked at all the other tires yesterday .. all of them have multiple small holes in between the tread. couple had less than 500 miles at this point and 1 had 230

1 tire ( we ordered off ebay and had sent to a hotel in moab) shows no wear, no holes , no issues .. and it is a prostar?



anyone have any info on any of these tires?

we stuck with 14.5 because they are rated for more than 15's but maybe we need to go to 16s or something?

but maybe we need to go
