I've been seeing more and more pictures of trailers with low Profile tires and wheels. They look pretty good. Does anyone know if they are real trailer tires or are they just winging it for looks.
I'm interested in Tandem 6000LB set=up for a 24/7

I have them on my triple axle trailer for my 28' Cigarette center console. They are Carlisle 235/60/R15 and they are trailer tires. boattrailertires.com

That's actually a D-rated tire which is decent. This is a new offering to me. Unfortunately, I have never been impressed with the quality of ANY Carlisle tires.

Those are perfect, Thanks. Now I have to find wheels

they make your drive look lower when the boats on the trailer

They have been on the trailer for three years with no issues. Short towing trips.

Can you post a picture? I'd love to see how the low-pros look. Personally, I kind of feel like trailer wheels are disposable, as unfortunately we have to drive over some curbs from time to time. My fear is the the lo-pro tires would offer less protection for the wheels. But that wouldn't stop be from buying them on smaller trailer setups. (5000 lbs. or less means usually a smaller, shorter trailer; less likely to 'find' curbs.)

I have a set that I put on my little trailer(s) for longer trips. 15" wheels with some Maxxis D-range tires on them.

I also have a set on a tandem tri-toon trailer here at the house that I have "custody" of for the time being; and have towed plenty with them (on Maxxis tires). I feel like the Sendel wheel are quality. They are available at dozens of online trailer stores, and eBay too.

Did you have any fender width clearance problems. what size did you originally have?

I have some super low profile wheels and tires as my trailer was built to be able to fit inside a standard height garage door. Tires are 195/60R14 passenger car tires. I've never had a single problem with these tires in 15 years (on my second set), never a blowout, never a flat and its been towed all over the country. Its a triple axle trailer so for all those concerned about the tires dragging in turns and destroying tires, never has happened.

My point being, don't restrict yourself to "trailer tires". You'll see all the west coast guys with big wheels are running passenger car or maybe LT tires. Just look at the weight rating of the tire and make sure you don't exceed it. You'll open up a lot more options for a custom look.
