As a general rule of thumb, trailer tires should be replaced every 6 to 8 years regardless of wear. Even though an older tire might appear to have plenty of tread left on it, dry rot and cracking can cause tire failure.

If your current tire size is a ST215/75D14 the part # AM1ST90 would work great as a replacement.
