Trailer Tires

[Jay B]

Time to replace the tires on my cargo trailer. It is a dual axle 14' with an empty weight of near 2k and loaded it is probably near 7k.
It takes 205-75-15's and I would like to stick with an 8 ply if possible without breaking the bank.
Who recommends what, and why?
Who can cut me a deal?

Thanks,
Jay

Go with either Carlisle or a Goodyear Marathon any regular passenger car tire wont hold up.

i typically go to discount and get tires designed for trailers only, they work well and take a lot of guess work out of what size to run. They are typically about $105 a tire, may be a little more for a heavier tire but not much. Of course assuming you live near a discount tire...

I also get the highest load rating I can get for the size I need. The trailer mfgs dont
always put the one on that would be best. They put the one on that will be maxed out when the trailer is loaded, I like a little more tire than what is really needed just to be
safe.

I just bought 4 10ply 235/85/16 yesterday for my 36' horse trailer. I paid 89.00 a piece. With mount and balance and tax I was out the door for 433.00! I am well pleased with them. They are strictly a trailer tire and they even say it on the side.

Marathons are junk, Carlisles are ok. Buy your tires at Discount Tire and buy the certificate for the tires, $15 tire replacement.

stay away from the Goodyears, look at the Kenda's,Deestone and Carlisles..we have handled these guys for the last 6 years and they never give us any problems.
