Let me go back and look at the timeline, where the stems are concerned. I have no doubt they have caused many tire failures, but I seem to recall a lot of tire failures predating the stem problem.
I still lean towards the weight also being one of the main culprits, and any steps you take to gain more capacity in load bearing of the tires, can do nothing but help.
I was unaware that they had stopped placing 14 inch tires on the smaller TManor's, until after reading Shrimp Burrito's post above. This fact to me, may be Trailmanor realizing they needed a beefier tire on these trailers.....or they read our forums......or both.
