    Based on the few dollys I have looked at it appears the MFG selects the lowest cost ST type tire they can find. I would think that as long as you used the same size and type (radial or bias) on both tires the brand should not make a difference.
    Just remember to always run the cold inflation marked on the tire sidewall. You should also confirm you are not overloading the dolly tires and hav4e at least a 10% margin.

    As a quick check the dolly tires should have greater load capacity than the front tires on the vehicle on the dolly.
  • I would just go to a tire store and get one. They sell tires and wheels for trailers. You could also go to a trailer store and get one. The last one I purchased for my dolly after a blowout was from a trailer sales lot. It was the only place around that had one and I needed it then. JMO
