New tire option for 235/75/15???

Umm...

Hey Larry, here’s the manufacture label that’s on the tire. Not sure if it will help in your quest for answers or more information. What I’ve been able to determine is that they are manufactured by API (American Pacific Industries.) they are no longer in production it seems, although I did just recently receive an email that states that they are considering re-releasing them next year. So who knows…they’ve only been out of production about a year.

Umm, American Pacific Industries is a trucking company.

Here’s a link to the website…API seems to be the parent company of a conglomerate.

The tire says made in Thailand stamped into the tire. If there are other codes or information on the tire you’d like me to photograph I’m happy to send more pictures

Hmmm, do I wait till Spring and see if they produce more fresh ones, and risk losing out on lower price, or maybe current stock exhausted? I think I'll buy now and hold onto them till Spring when I'll have them mounted. Also, considering just holding onto current Westlake spare, never been used, doesn't see direct sun mounted beneath trailer.

I am going to go with Falken Wildpeak A/T4W, its a LT135/75 R15, E load, as soon as I get the trailer back from getting the axle replaced, tire got toasted from a bent spindle. BF Goodrich also makes a D load tire in both the All Terrain K02 and Mud Terrain KM3 that is a good alternative, but a bit more expensive.

I have the Wildpeaks A/TW4 on my truck and like them. They run a bit quieter than the BF Goodrich KO2 tire..

Based on information in this thread, I just installed 2 Kenda Load Star M/T, ST235/75R15.
I would have liked to stay with the Westlake CR 857+, as they have been great tires for 6 1/2 years and approximately 25,000 miles in all kinds of rugged terrain and highway use, however as previously mentioned, etrailer seems to be the only source, and asks a ridiculous price for these tires.
I ordered the Kendas from etrailer, and thought they seemed expensive, but it saved me $200 over the Westlakes.
Thanks to all for these helpful posts!

That’s the best option for an off road tire I have seen as it’s an ST, off road, plus available in a D load…
