New Tire Recommendations

[Eaglemax]

Hello,
I have a 2013 Cyclone 2812 and am in need of new tires this spring. It has the Tow Max from the factory and they did good other than one crowning last year. They warrantied 75% of it toward a new Commadore. I have not seen too many good reviews of the commodore so I will most likely look at another brand and replace it. Does anyone have a good recommendations? Size is 235/80R 16E
Thanks in advance!!

Thanks all for the input! The unit has two 6000# axles with aluminum wheels so I will stay with the E rated.

The Bridgestone R-250 and the Michelin XPS Rib tires are both a commercial grade all steel ply carcass tire in a LT235/85-16 E or LT245/75-16 E at 3042 lbs capacity.
These two tires are the best out here for trailers with 6k axles and smaller even at max loads.
The R-250 has a better price tag if it makes a difference.

I have the bridgestones and really like them. 2nd set and no issues. The first set was 10 years old when I replaced them because of age. Also one nice thing about the HD truck tires like the r250 is they don't loose air like lighter duty tires do. My trailer sits all winter and when spring shows up I check the tires when I get ready to use the trailer and they are typically still at exactly 80PSI. I check them frequently and never have to add air.

I went with Saliuns 687, after all the problems with Westlake OEM bombs

Both great tires.
Stay away from Carlisle.
Really bad track record.

Carlisle came out with a new line of tires a few years back and they have had a great track record.

Maybe on wheelbarrow tires.......

If you have been around the toyhauler scene for any amount of time like I have, you would understand....

I spent many hours on the side of the road helping buddies replace blown Carlisle tires.....

I have a toy hauler with 7000lb axles and Bridgestone R250s. Love 'em.

Oh, I forgot - it's a tri-axle so I'm well under weight rating of the tires.

The only thing with Bridgestones R250's that you have to watch is your axle weights. With your Toy Hauler, you might weigh more than I think.. but I would not hesitate to buy Sailun 637's either. Tons of them out there in commercial use, and they are ST rated, but super heavy duty.

A lot depends on what your axles are rated, and whether you want to stick to those ratings when you get new tires.

If you have 6,000 lb. rated axles or under then you can go with a Michelin rib or other "E" rated LT tire. If you have 7,000 lb. axles then your choices are pretty much Sailun or Goodyear in a "G" rated tire. If you chose the "G" rated tires you'd need to ascertain that your rims will handle the higher pressures.

We really like our Michelin XPS Rib but I don't know if they are made in the size you need.
