My Kendas had a 44 psi rating...was good enough for Ranger to use as a factory tire. The Michelin’s will be fine at a 44 rating. The shop that mounted the Michelin’s confirmed the Kenda failed with a tread separation.

If Kendras are Chinese made then that might be the problem.
Asia/China= Asia/China bombs.
My 2018 521L trailer came with Kendas. First trip to Texas from Missouri -- anything over 65 they vibrated like hell. Didn't see any weights. When I got home took to tire shop to have balanced. Had to dismount and dump out plastic beads and did spin balance. Still vibrate like hell over 65. New rig on order. Is ranger still installing Kendas?

I bought my new 2019 Ranger Z520C in October 2019 and it came with Kenetica Loadstar tires ST215/65R17 made by Kenda. 102/98M M+S; Load Range C; Max 50psi cold. I've seen some vibration already but I'm not sure if it is from the roads (I-10, I-17, and state road 101) here in Phoenix, AZ. I see a little bouncing even on new road surfaces. I've been to the local lakes 6 times now so I'll keep my eye out on those tires.

Just went on a first 250 mile trip with the new Michelins...super smooth! Not a lick of vibration.
Aren't the Michelins you guys are talking about passenger car tires? Isn't there a reason tires are specifically made for trailers? What am I missing here?

My research indicates that any light truck tire should ok as well right?
