Don't skimp buy Good Year Marathon trailer tires, Dico and Carlisle are junk for trailer tires on boats, ok for small snowmobile trailers but can't handle the weight.

Myco and Manning ship new trailers with LT Truck Tires, have for a long time. Much better for the bigger loads vs. ST trailer tires.

depends on the tire-rim. the 5-bolt are a chrysler-ford bolt pattern. just gotta be sure hole in middle is big enough for hub. i BELEIVE there is only 1 six-bolt pattern for all light trucks and trailers. i have good luck with used pickup truck tires. can handle the weight, and we never wear out trailer tires. they just dry-rot until either the tread flys off or the air falls out.

Marathons are the only way to go. They outlasted my last trailer.
They were 8 yrs old.
