I like my tires so far.

I've had Kenda's, and now have Raniers ... ST175/80R13 Load Range D Steel Belted Radials ... 65psi (both brands)

I use radials and love them. Keep balanced and correct pressure for a great ride and pull!

I checked with a tire/wheel dealer on amazon, got 4 wheels for his price of 2 1/2 and free shipping. Carried them to my tire dealer and paid $25 each for lifetime balancing.

I have had better luck with Carlisle trailer tires on all my rigs. The Chinese tires that came on my last boat purchase were junk from the start.I probably had 3000 miles on them before they started to self-destruct. I put Goodyear Marathons on the trailer since it was an emergency situation and they seemed to be OK.

I have used the Good Year Marathon radials for years and have no complaints at all. They wear true and last much longer than any of the generic brands that I've had.

This is what I just put on my trailer. So far I am happy with the tires.

I checked the Goodyear website and they don't make this new trailer tire in my size.

Those are the same tires I put on my trailer ... ran them for a little over 4yrs (highway & parkway speeds of 55-70mph) before one of them had a belt break. The other is now my spare, and I have the Raniers on the trailer, now. Both Kenda tires still had lots of tread left.

When I bought the boat, there were light truck tires on the trailer .... and one blew out on the parkway in less than 2yrs of use.
