I've had the best luck outta Carlisle Trail Rh tires.
Boat trailer came with Goodyear Marathons on it had 3 blow out in a year. switched to Carlisle in 2008 no problems since
Looking for a good set of tires for our boat trailer. Right now it has carlise tires on it that are two years old. We've had trouble with irregular wear and belts breaking. I've already replace one of em with the spare cause it was so bad. The trailer tracks straight and the thrust angle is good. Does anyone run radial tires on their trailers? I just wanna get the best tires for the money.
Its a single axle trailer with a war eagle 2072 aluminum boat.

Most are foreign made today. That said most are pretty good tires. Goodyear Marathon were bad for awhile that is all supposed to be behind them. Kumho or how ever you speel it are good tires. Most will be D rated. Just buy a decent Radial made for trailer use and keep aired up between 45 to 50 PSI. No they do not need to be aired to the max on sidewall if over 50. That max on some of those tires is for a max load on any kinda of trailer, which in most cases your not going to be at.
I run these on my single axle trailer : ST175/80R13 LRD 8 Ply Kenda Karrier Radial Trailer Tire
My boat is a 16' fiberglass w/90hp outboard ... and has a dry weight of nearly 1800lbs. These radials require 65psi for that weight & highway speeds. I purchased them online & had them shipped to my home for around $160 (2 tires).
They replaced the small truck tires that the original owner of the boat had on there .... after I had a blowout on the highway.

If you have 14s they say the Khumo 857s are the best. Good for 90 mph. or close to that. I have Carlisle as mine are 13s and cant complain. Usually run 65 to 75 depending whos driving. They are 4 yrs old and look like new.

I had to replace my original no name tires last year as the outside tread wore down to the cords, when I jacked it up to take them off I found the bearings were not loaded correctly, So I took them out cleaned repacked and set them correctly . I put Carlisles on it, had them on my duck boat for 8 yrs no issues and lots of miles. I'll let you know if the new set fails this year
