New Tires for 2021 NuCamp 400/LT vs ST

MinnesoTab

Just wanted to share our experience with replacing tires on our 2021 NuCamp 400 Boondock. The trailer came new with Rainier Apex trailer tires. In our fifth year of ownership, a sharp rock punctured one of the Rainiers. Rather than buy one new tire and have a mismatched set, we opted for two new tires. Since the Rainers are about $330 each plus installation and not as widely available, we shopped for alternatives. We decided on the Falken A/T4W light truck tires priced at $150 each. We purchased these at Discount Tire. The Falkens look great with their rugged looking side wall and tread. The Falkens also have a higher speed rating than the Rainiers. After a year and approximately 10,000 miles of travel, we can say we are very satisfied with the Falken tires. No noticeable difference in towing or performance in any way.

What pressure have you been running in the new tires?

The Falkens are 235/75R15 109T. I run them at 40 psi or slightly above. Max recommended pressure at load is 50 psi.

We bought our 2019 400 last summer and it still had the OEM Rainiers on. They looked great but at 6 years old we decided it was time for new tires. Bought Karrier Load*Stars (225/75R15, Load range E), $131/each at eTrailer. Max recommended cold pressure is 80 psi, we run them at 70. We’ve put on about 10K in the past year and are also happy with them.
