Tire confusion

On my tow dolly it has Westlake tires and a Carlise as a spare, size is ST20575R14. After reading reviews of these tires some say they are OK and others would throw them in the garbage. Just recently purchased the dolly and have only used it twice, what are others thoughts, keep tires on until show signs of wear or replace with something else in the spring? ( PS bought dolly used, not new, its a 2014 model )

Look what you have done! Ohhh it hasn't occurred yet but it's coming.

I have used the stock tires on 4 different trailers whatever Chinese brand they were, Towmax, Westlake, etc many miles and had not an issue or concern.

I'm of the opinion it's more a case of the manufacturer putting tires on with the rig too close to the tires ratings or user error, than the tires themselves.

I'd check the date codes and inspect them. Then run them until they wear out.
