This guy 
I was planning on either buying new tires for the trailer at the beginning of July, or trading it in on a new trailer.
Well, Arizona Port Of Entry helped make my decision for me, kind of……
Somewhere from the start of my day, or possibly the day before, one of my tires decided to leak. It was perfect when my trip started from home, but somewhere along the way that changed.
Got red lighted at the Port Of Entry, pulled in on the scale, and the lady inside told me she was going to check my tires.
At that point, I knew something was wrong because the only reason she was checking tires is because their temperature sensors recognized an issue.
Sure enough, right rear inside was low. Not flat, but pretty low.
She let me drive to the next exit to get it fixed. I drove to that exit, aired up the tire, and continued to my delivery.
Next day, given the condition of that tire, and the one beside it, I moved up my tire replacement to that day.
Ended up working out a deal on 8 new double coins at $285 each. It’s the trailer, so worth the risk compared to the cost of every other tire i priced. Got these replaced at Southern Tire Mart in Tucson, AZ. (Never go to a truck stop for tires)
Not sure how well they will last, but the reviews I could find was pretty good. I did find rolling resistance testing on these by Michelin and they are actually rated really good in that area.
Never thought I would buy these, but they were half the price of the next best tire.
