Default Trailer Tires?

Time for some new sneakers for the manning, what does everyone one use?

Radials or Bias?

What brands are good and what are bad?

Thanks

Marathon is probably the all-around best choice. You can get commercial trailer tires in 16 but they're pretty expensive and not really worth it unless you're doing regular long-distance towing ona very large boat.

You need ST-rated tires unless you like wander & sway.

ST is "special trailer". They have a much stiffer sidewall. LT is "light truck".

I've used 187 series Bridgestone (commercial L/T) tires on a couple of trailers and had excellent luck with them with no failures,,,,but they are kind of pricey.
