Had a tire blowout on my utility trailer about 5 miles from home on Labor Day. Michelin LTX M/S, P215/75R15 takeoff from a Jeep Cherokee I once owned. I estimate this tire and its axle mate are about 30 years old, so I got my money's worth. Tire carcass stayed together enough to prevent the rim from riding on the pavement and get boogered up, so "hats off" to Michelin.
A coworker gave me a pair of 5 year old P235/75R15 takeoffs from a pickup, but they were still mounted on rims. These rims had a bigger bolt pattern than my utility trailer rims, so I had to get the tires swapped over.
Went to a local shop. Total cost to do the swap was $60, no balancing at all. Wow, I guess I'm old. The last time I did this, I think I paid $20.
Oh well, at least it was cheaper than buying new tires.
