Best trailer tires for my aplication
 

Ok start with the wize azz comments..... ok I will get most of them off for you guys...... Why do you need tires it just sits there anyhow...... Why you need tires, oh must be for your friends boat....

I have a 30 foot formula dry weight about 7,000-7500 pounds on a C channel heavy duty galvy trailer probably weights at leaste another 1000 if not 1500lbs. This is a dual axel trailer and I have 15" rims. What does everyone think that my best bet is for tires?

What's up Jon?

How ya do'in?
using 15's is going to limit your amount of choices, in a high ply tire. The Goodyear Marathon, ST225/75R15 is a 8ply with 2540lbs per tire load capacity, with a nice strong bead. you should be able to get them for around 80 to 85 dollars per tire.

Doing well Mitch how about you. Work work work makes audio a dull boy..... I will see if I can find any of those this week in my travels. What should I have gone with 16's? I was going to go with 16's but I thought that I would have clearence issues. I am fairly sure that I did not however.... I will double check when I get back to the shop later today.

Re: Best trailer tires for my aplication
 

If memory serves me right, you still have a chance to beat Fred.

Is this an indication that the boat is moving closer to the water, or the scap yard? :D

I replaced the TowMaster s, I think carlisle made them with Goodyear Marathons and very happy with them. The Towmasters were total POS and the trailer company got me the GY for cost. 14inches were like 60-65 each.

Ask Sydwayz what not to buy that might narrow it down. :D

10 flat tires last year on truck, boat trailer, and car combined, (including ejected wheel off boat trailer).

I have had good luck with Goodyear Marathon trailer tires.
Jassman always puts Cooper Discoverer LT tires on his trailers, and they did well on my truck.

My current boat trailer has Road King LT truck tires on it, and they are OK. I now carry two spares if that tells you anything.

Jon, I would go for Goodyear Marathons and not think twice. Go ahead and definately get E load rated tires. You can't have too much tire.

Re: Best trailer tires for my aplication
 

No closer then a year ago..... I have had these trailer parts taking up space all over my shop for a long time. I was sick of tripping over the crap while I tried to work on it. I also wanted to give the entire shop and boat a wash down before I get back on it, so I needed to be able to pull it out of the shop.

Jon

Make sure you do this!
 

if you are going to change brand of tire, be DAMN sure you triple check clearance, last year I changed all the tires at once on a tri axle I haul a 31' profile with, even the spare. I forget the brand I used, but all were uniform size of of course.

100 miles later a blow out on one, and by the time I got to the tire place I had almost gotten the second. Just because they say they are the same size, I learned tires are like shoes, everyone's are just a little difference. There is as much as 1.5" in width between different 275X75X15" tires, more than enough to cause clearance issues.

Learn from others screw ups, life is to short to mess up everything once yourself.

Ya it was. I expected something from Troutly. He got me good this time. Not to worry revenge is desert best served cold :evilb: :evilb:

I am bumming now. Seems that when I ordered the brakes from Champion that I only got one pair. I have to go and look at my order as I am sure I ordered both. So now I have to figure out if it is one pair that I ordered or not. If I did then there is a pair missing :mad: :mad:
