Trailer Tires

[lomodyj]

So I blew another of the Trailmaster tires that came with my trailer...This one only had about 300 miles on it (it was the spare). Now I need more tires. Have not been real impressed with the Trailmasters, so, they are out. What I had put on in Ohio are Nanco's. Though I only have 1000 miles on them they seem pretty good.

What I'm looking for is some recomendations on trailer tires (205/75-14). Brands, and where to buy. I've heard one person say they were having good luck with Goodyear Marathons. Anyone else have an opinion?

not sure what tire you end up with, id move to the 15" rim.. I think it opens up your tire selection a bit more..

marathons seem pretty solid, x3 on 15's, i had carlisle before and was not to impressed with those either.

carlisles have done me good so far.... on the second set in 4 years... but then I pull my trailer just about every day of the week with lawnmowers on it.

had a guy that worked at a shop get them for cost...

$200 for a set of 5...plus $25 to the guy at 4WP to mount/balance...

I have the Goodyear Marathons on 2 trailers and have bin very happy with them.

What goes along with the tire selection is the load they can handle. Running anywhere in the neighborhood of the max load can lead to blow outs.

Is that an "ST" or a plain run of the mill "C" range tire? Most of the RV crowd report numerous tire issues running for prolonged periods above 65... not that you do or anything!

I have Denman's on my trailer. I can't recall which one it is, but they work well. Only had one blow out when the trailer was first built. We didn't space the axles far enough apart and the heat buildup destroyed it.
