I just bought some Trailer Kings. I searched on the internet and found some threads here and one guy who installed tires recommended 4 different tires and Trailer King was one of them. The place I went to sells them exclusively.

Any recommendations for the best tire to get.

The most expensive one.

I had 4 Maxxis installed a little cheaper than 4 GY Marathons. But mine were the very common 205/75R14. By the way, the Maxxis m8008 are made in Tailand, not China, although Maxxis does make some tires in China and Viet Nam also.

They're all about the same, best way to shop ST trailer tires is on price. None are made in US anymore, they are all made in China, so the brand really doesn't matter. Weigh your trailer and make sure you're not overloading the tires. Get 'em balanced and they will last longer.

Many here have reported Maxxis as good brand, but limited dealer network so limited availability in many regions and higher priced than most.

Maxxis tires are a quality choice if you are looking for ST tires. Most any reputable tire dealer can order them if they are not readily available in your area. I ordered 4 Maxxis ST tires online and they were shipped to my front door via UPS, took them to our local Discount Tire shop and had them installed, balanced, and warrantied. Over 25K miles and still going strong on their 4th season.

Don't pay any attention to the grumps, they are everywhere. Tires are very important so take your time and do all the research you want to. I don't know about Trailer tires but Goodyear and Michelin are my choices for tires on our revolution. I just bought six michelin's through the FMAC program for RV'RS. Saved a few bucks and feel secure with them

TT's come all types and come with 12" tire sizes up to 16" tire sizes and its makes a huge difference what size/load range you need. Give us some info and we can help you.

Keep in mind here some folks will only recommend what they use and others have the experience to give you more brand/tire type options in selecting a good tire for your trailer.
