Memory is an unreliable thing. I said in my previous post that it was the fridge in my T2499 that needed repair. No, it was not, It was our previous Dutchmen 18 footer.

Don't know if they come in a 13 inch size, but the Goodyear Endurance trailer tires are made in the USA and have a very good speed rating. That is what I bought for my T2499 last year.
