My trailer tires are st175/80r/13 , load rated C, made by Goodyear/marathons. They appear to be in fine shape but they are old enough that I want to replace them with new tires. It appears Goodyear doesn’t make these and the new endurance are not made in this size.Any suggestions on another brand? I would like to use my existing rims instead of buying new tires and rims. Also, I don’t have any spare room for a larger tire. I know Tire topics get old, I’ve dont some searches but my size is less popular so less info on the forums.

Go to e-trailer, take a look at Provider tires. They are new style, cooler running, with a higher speed rating. They have a good rep, and been in use since around 2010.Jerry

Our TT came with the same size tires. Adding up the capacity of all 4 tires came to 100 lbs below the tt GVWR.I switched (after a couple flats ) to Maxxis 8008. I went to the next size up, I think it was 185/13 and it increased my safety margin by about 600 lbs. They only offer 2 sizes in 13". Have about 5000 miles on them and so far so good.

MFL, I’m running Providers, 14 inch, LR D. So far...4000 miles...so good.

So far, we really like our Goodyear Endurance tires. Made in the USA, higher speed and load ratings. We have over 10,000 miles on them so far. Expensive, though.

Maxxis M8008. Travel proven for years. I never run anything but and have never had a problem.. I change them every 5 years.

I've been happy with the Carlisle HDs mentioned above. If I had to replace them I would consider the new Goodyears because they are MUSA, though I understand that isn't an option for OP. As it is, I'll likely be too old to pull a trailer when these age out....

My 2012 came with Provider tires when I purchased it new. Yup, I'm still running them, and they have been a great tire!

Haven't heard anyone complaining about them and a co-worker has had good luck with them so far on his Avion TT.

My cousin runs bias ply tires on his 24' travel trailer. Following him up I-75 last week, I got a good example why. His left rear tire disintegrated while running 65mph. No damage done to the trailer. Chunks started flying and the tread rolled off into the median. One a previous trip a few years ago, he lost a radial and it even tore out the shelves under the sink with the steel belts slapping. I've noticed U-Haul has gone back to bias ply trailer tires as well.
