Honestly, I think it was wheel availability for the European Al-Ko axle bolt pattern. If you want to replace the wheels on a Dutchman your selection is limited because of the bolt pattern. Can't just go down and purchase any old trailer wheel.
thanks to all for the thoughts and replies. I get out of school today, so maybe a call to Pleasant Valley is in order. I will say that our original 2014 LG provided ST tires have worn evenly at 38 - 42psi, and we have never had a blowout/flat. On a related topic, I'm curious why LG has not updated/upgraded their owners…
