FAQs
What is the recommended tire pressure for the GOODRIDE ST290?
Always refer to the tire's sidewall for the maximum inflation pressure and your trailer manufacturer's recommendations for the optimal operating pressure. Typically, trailer tires require higher inflation pressures than passenger car tires.
Can I use these tires on a passenger vehicle?
No, the GOODRIDE ST290 tires are specifically designed and rated for trailer use only and should not be mounted on passenger vehicles.
How long should these trailer tires last?
The lifespan of a trailer tire depends on factors like usage, load, inflation pressure, and maintenance. However, the GOODRIDE ST290's high-quality materials and wear resistance are designed to provide extended service life under proper conditions.
What does the 'ST' in ST290 stand for?
In the tire industry, 'ST' typically stands for 'Special Trailer,' indicating that the tire is specifically engineered for the unique demands of trailer applications, which differ from passenger or light truck tires.
How do I check if this tire size is compatible with my trailer?
Check the sidewall of your current trailer tires for the size designation (e.g., 195/55R10). Also, consult your trailer's owner's manual or the manufacturer's plate, usually found on the trailer frame, for the recommended tire specifications.
Are these tires good for off-road use?
Yes, the GOODRIDE ST290 features a tread design that provides excellent traction and stability suitable for various conditions, including moderate off-road applications commonly encountered when accessing campsites or job sites.
Troubleshooting
Uneven tire wear
Check wheel alignment and balance. Ensure proper tire inflation and that the trailer's load is evenly distributed. Verify that the tire size is correct for the trailer.
Tire vibration or shaking
Have the tires balanced by a professional. Ensure the wheels are properly mounted to the trailer hub.
Reduced traction in wet conditions
Ensure tire pressure is within the recommended range. The tread design is optimized for good traction, but excessive wear or improper inflation can affect performance.
Tire sidewall damage or cracking
Inspect tires for signs of age or damage. Replace tires immediately if any cuts, bulges, or significant cracks are found. Consider covering tires when the trailer is stored for long periods.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
Ensure the GOODRIDE ST290 Trailer Tire is mounted on a compatible wheel rim that matches the tire's 10-inch diameter and appropriate width. It is recommended to have tires mounted by a professional tire service to ensure proper bead seating and inflation.
Compatibility:
This tire is specifically designed for trailer use, including utility trailers, RVs, and other towable vehicles. Always verify that the tire size (195/55R10) and load rating (98/96N) meet or exceed your trailer manufacturer's specifications. It is not intended for use on passenger vehicles.
Care:
- Regularly check tire pressure and inflate to the recommended PSI specified on the tire sidewall or your trailer's manual. Underinflation can lead to premature wear and potential failure.
- Inspect tires for visible damage, such as cuts, bulges, or embedded objects, before and after each use.
- Rotate tires periodically, if possible, to ensure even wear, especially if the trailer has multiple axles.
- Clean tires with mild soap and water to remove road grime and chemicals that can degrade the rubber over time.
- Store trailers indoors or cover tires when not in use for extended periods to protect them from UV exposure and harsh weather conditions.
