Good advice in the previous replies. Before our last trip to Alaska I put on Maxxis 8008 trailer tires with the 8 ply rating rather than the standard 6 ply rating. For such a light trailer that may have been overkill as maybe could have gotten the standard 6 ply tires but never had any tire trouble. The roads really are not that bad, just a section of frost heaves around Destruction Bay but just slow down. In two trips to Alaska I never had any tire trouble. You might search for trailer tires with a higher speed rating as I believe I have seen that Carlyle (not sure of spelling) now makes such a tire and I believe at least one other manufacturer. Now I have the Lance trailer and the Maxxis tires went down the road with the trade-in so am faced with keeping the original tires or switching.
