Comparing New Tires for trailer

I believe you'll be happy with the Carlisle tires.
Previous trailer had 2 sets in 10 years without a single issue.
Current trailer is running Trailer King RST D rated, so far no complaints.

Key is to run them to max psi and check tire pressure before each trip.

Kenda Karrier
LRD are on super sale on etrailer.com right now. $40 off
Have 14” Karriers on 2 different trailers. 1 sits outside 24/7 and now about 5 years old and no signs of weathering. They are mostly or 100% in the shade in a cool wet environment though. Knock on wood they’ll be good a while longer.

Other set is stored inside on boat trailer. They’re 3-4 years old now and also in great shape.
This is my first round of Kendas but I believe they’re very good quality.
Get em before the sale is up.

I had that size on my old Prowler. The OEM LR was only "B"... I replaced them with the same size, but in a LR "D" rating and just having the extra load cap on them and extra PSI on them. I got them from etrailer and I think they were the "Karrier" name??

Never a flat and I loaded that old Prowler to it's max, if not a bit over and never a problem..

Good luck! Mitch

Hi ... I have Goodyear Endurance and am happy with them. I set psi at 70. My fifth wheel suggests 65to 70 psi.. I have about 20K. Miles on the tires. Jim2007

Thanks for the advice - very helpful. The good year's don't seem to be available in my size so I'll go for the Carlisle HDs. Don't really want to up the wheel size at present as I'm trying to keep the cost down.

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.

Had nothing but tire problems with the Towmax.:( Is it possible to go up in your tire size, better towing and load capacity.

Speed rating for the Carlisle ST185/80/13 Radial Trail HD is "M"

Check the speed rating.

They don’t call them “blowmax” for no reason!

Not sure about Power King. I have been using Carlisle for the past 15 years with no complaints.
