Trailer Tires?

Hi All,

I just recently acquired an old 1970 (unsure of exact year due to weathering of VIN plate) Fleetwood Wilderness. It's approximately 16' and single axle. I'd like to get some new tires for it as there's just too much dry rot cracking upon close inspection. I was talking to a guy from Goodyear who mentioned what he called trailer tires, which I assume are for utility type trailers, not travel trailers. He said they hold a lot more weight but the disadvantage is they are louder than regular tires. But I was thinking this wouldn't matter since I'll be up in my truck.

Is there any reason why this would be a bad choice? Or would they be just fine? I googled 'where to get rv tires installed' but there are not so many listings. Goodyear and Campingworld were the main ones I saw. Is there some other place to go to? I also need to buy a spare and a rim for the spare.

Suggest you find out what the weight of your trailer will be when it is fully loaded. This is a starting point to help you start narrowing your choice of tires. It will help you decide what load rating capacity tire you need, i.e. C,D,E,G. Personally i have had good luck with Good Year tires and I like there warranty polices.
I don't know much about tires for TT's. This is my first. Thanks for the help!
