Trailer Tires

Have you searched the forum. Hundreds of posts. Choose your size!

Might help if you provided details of your trailer. At this point we can say round and black.Chris

If 15" - Maxxiss
If 16" use a quality LT tire.

As others have said ...more info necessary for a good recommendation.
From your other posts you must have a large 5th wheel trailer with a 6 point hyd leveling system.
So I'm guessing the trailer has 6k or 7k axles.

5.2k-6k axles there are several good LT235/85-16 E tires at 3042 bs capacity.

7k axle the Sailun S637 LT235/85-16 G at 3750 lb capacity or the Goodyear G614 RST LT235/85-16 G at 3750 lb capacity.

And some folks with large/heavy trailers moved on up to the 17.5" trailer wheels and commercial grade LT tires.

If you search the forums, you will generally see these answers:

16" or bigger, go to LT tires:
- Goodyear G614 - expensive but have guarantee to fix your RV if a blown tire damages it?

- Michelin RIBS

- Sailun S637 - less expensive but people are having good luck with them

- Bridgestone Duravis R250


15" or smaller, stay with ST tires (limited max speed to 65 mph):
- Maxis M8008 - reliable, good track record on the forums

- Carlisle Radial Trail RH - the new design seems to have solved the problems you see on the forums from several years ago

Both Sams, Cosco and Discount Tire sell F rated 16 inch
ST tires made by Greenball out of China. They are 3850 lbs load 90 psi rated 44 lbs weight ST tires. I've tried them with success after several GY Marabomb failures. They run $150 and have the support and warranty from Sams, etc. They aren't G614's however and since we don't full time yet so far so good.

I've been running Goodyear Marathons tires for years with no problems. What is key for any tire is to make sure you purchase the correct load rating tire to match your trailer weight.

You just happen to be a fellow Utahan-but this is the best post I have seen in a tire thread since I have been on this board.
Congrats!
