6 years on LT265/75R16s... no problems.
I put cheap generic LT265/75R16 LREs on our Chaparral 355 6 seasons ago after one of the Goodyear Marathon ST230/80R16 LRDs that came with the trailer developed a bulge. I have not had a single pro...

The 265/75 tires aren't the norm for a trailer position because of side strees issues but if it working for you thats great.
Total BS. The friction difference between a 235 and a 265 is negligible.
And what trailer manufacturer would tell its customer base it had too many warranty claims ?
Never said the trailer manufacturer told its customers anything. As a customer we get our info from the equipment trailer dealers if we are interested.
So which equipment trailer dealer told you this ? And if tire width is a problem, why don't after market trailer axles (Dexters, etc.) come with a tire width rating ?
