I have also talked with several tire dealers, Firestone, Cooper and Michelin and all said that the Goodyear was the best trailer tire you could buy.
I am not an expert. This is my exerience and what I have been told.

Well Mama, sounds like you're pretty confident about using radials on trailers!! The stuff I was reading though talked about side wall loading when doing tight maneuvers. My triple axle trailer really folds the tires over pretty good. What I had heard and read is that radials do not resist this side load very well. Do you have specific knowledge/experience that says the radials are OK for this side loading??

Just give me some quick opinions if you would
Thanks!

Coopers are available here (they have to order them) for about $75.00 each before tax. They only make one size/rating. 225/75/15, in D Load Rating, (8 Ply). (Craven Tire in Fairfax, VA)
I am going with Marathons this time, but I am going to keep an eye out for anyone using Cooper ST on their trailer.
