- opnspacesNavigator IIYou can order them through Discount/Americas Tire, or probably any other tire store.
- beemerphile1ExplorerAny tire store.
Make sure to get the same load rating as original or higher.
I got my last set at Sam's Club. - TerryallanExplorer IIAs mentioned, any tire store. Beside the weight rating. the other thing to look for, is the date of build. Many tire shops keep trailer tires for years before selling. Specify you want new one, no more than a couple months old. One month would be best.
- Biker1mikeExplorerI go to the RV shop where I bought the pop-up. Sure it cost a little more but they keep the stock moving and they KNOW how to work on campers.
- sh410Explorer"and they KNOW how to work on campers. "
There is no special training or knowledge to install new tires on a trailer. The RV dealer will probably have low volume tire sales and therefore a higher cost. Not to mention they will charge their shop rate to install the tires. - Beer_BellyExplorer

+1......look at the weight rating you're running currently, and read what your max weight is on your Pop Up....make sure they match at minimum. When we bought new tires, our old ones were right at the limit according to what the camper specs read......we upgraded to a higher rated tire - TvovExplorer IIAsk at your local repair garage. The guys at the independent shop I go to have campers themselves so are used to working on them. Tire price might be the same or even less than "discount" places... make sure when comparing prices you include mounting, fees, taxes, etc. Usually those great advertised tire prices you see from large stores are not the complete mounted price.
- RoyBExplorer III lost one tire with very little mileage on it when several cross country trips down very bumpy I59 in North ALA shook out my wheel alignment weights on one side. I replaced my 15-inch tires POPUP tires with GOODYEAR ALL TERRAIN LT's.
I have always pulled my own trailer tires at home and take them to tire dealer for replacement.
Roy Ken - Wine_MakerExplorerYep. Most tire places will carry the trailer tires that you need.
Good luck. - IntheloonybinExplorerI buy mine at Discount tire. The first set of tires they replaced on my pup were underrated for the weight of our pup (3300 lbs loaded). I didn't notice the discrepancy until the first trip towing the camper. They did NOT handle well (understatement!). Discount tire happily put on different tires rated for the camper weight. Plus, I bought the incorrect ones for a different trailer- at a discount.
