Comparing New Tires for trailer

Hi There. I'm replacing the ST185/80/13 tires on my trailer and have the option of either Carlisle or Power King Towmax brands. I'd welcome any advice on how these brands compare?

Thanks,

Daniel.
  • Does it have to be one or the other? There are better options out there. To name a couple, Provider STs, and Good Year Endurance STs, that can easily be ordered. To answer your question, I'd get the Carlisle, if HD with M speed rating.

    On edit: The better choices I mentioned may not be available in that exact size.

  • What are the load ranges (B, C, D etc.) and max weight of the tires you are considering? What is the weight of your trailer wet and loaded?
