Best boat trailer tires?

[Dgreen]

I blew a tire today and need to replace it. It was a Tow Master with very low miles and I checked the air before I left home. Drove about 4 miles and pop emoBadLanguage! I'm going back with a different brand and would appreciate everyone's thoughts. Thanks in advance for your any helpful advice.

Goodyear endurance are probably the top of the line for trailer tires but at $100.00+ per tire, I wasn't spending $500.00 for four tires on my camper so I went with the Carlisle HD.

If I had only needed two, I would have gone with the Goodyear's.

I've used Carlisle radials for years - solid performance, good price.

Thanks for the info I was leaning towards the Goodyear's but wasn't sure. Anyone had a bad experience with them?

If you are going to spend $100 per tire I would buy a light truck tire. I have experienced much better quality and longer life span from light truck tires on my trailers.

Trailer tires have a thicker side wall for obvious reasons. I just bought four Goodyear Endurance. Regardless of what you buy, stick with a trailer tire.

When was the last time you saw a new 14" light truck tire for sale?

Light truck tires are not rated for trailer use and I've seen a ton of my share of blow outs and worn tires. get a ST rated.
Provider also makes a killer tire.

Cutting corners and saving a buck can land you into big time repair cost. Been doing this for 26 years and I've seen it. Proper air pressure is one of the biggest failures also.
