Not sure how long I will have this trailer but, has anyone had a change in views on tires? Local Goodyear is offering $650 for a set of 5 marathon tires. Looks like they are rated for 2540 lbs At 65MPH. Speed wise I think 70 would be nicer. But 200 lbs doesn't seem like much extra.
Might do what jaycocamprs did up a few posts. LT235/85R16/E BFG
Ideas? buying something this week... even if my job is ending sooner then latter :(
If you keep the trailer a 16" LT will run a long time at any speed you want. If you go with the LT235/85R16/E's and you trade up like we did, take the tires with you to the new trailer. By the way those BFG's I bought in Sep 09 were replaced June this year. Almost a full 5 years of service. A little over 2 years each on both the Jayco and the Mountaineer. 2 of them are now on a friend’s farm truck.
