The rubber pucks on our EZFlex system have been "shot" since we bought this rig (in 2012). The pucks were crushed, look like you squished a marshmallow between your fingers. Factory sent us replacement parts, but I was not in a hurry to change them since it is fairly involved and things were not "that bad".
Spacing was pretty close between the tires, but they didn't touch, at least for 6 years. The pucks/EZFlex finally wore out enough that we had contact between 2 tires, so it was time to replace them. Also time to replace the tires as they were 6 years old. The tires were Carlisle and worked great for us, still looked great, ~20,000 miles on them. They replaced the original "blowmax" which held up to their name within a couple months.
New Carlisle tires, this time with G load rating instead of F (F was fine and within spec before). Hoping for at least the same service life from these new tires. We do run a TPMS which definitely helps from running things with too little of air.
Here's the bad puck, close tires, new puck and "lots of room even though the picture is deceiving".
