TT Tire Recommendation

[bstar1952]

Had a blowout coming home last month and now have no confidence in the OEM "Trailer King" tires so getting ready to purchase new tires for my TT. Was going to purchase the Goodyear Endurance but now won't buy anything from GY. Looking at the Carlisle HD, which I've had before and had no problems. Anyone have any other recommendations before I pull the plug.Thanks....

While not wanting to get into a debate about North American versus China manufactured tires, I just want to comment that while travelling in Utah in 2012 We had to purchase 2 new tires for our unit. We were in a very small town and the tire place offered us 2 Crosswind Tires (made by LingLong in Thailand) The tires were L780 12 ply and again while I understand the many things that affect tire life longevity they are still on the trailer some 15000 plus miles later and still running well. No endorsement just a comment. Good luck with your tire search. The Crosswinds are paired with 2 Maxxis which are also performing well.

I don't suppose Michelin's would fit but I like my XPS ribs. Someday hope to go camping again.

Ditto. I have two sets of Goodyear Endurance tires.

Here's a comparison video I did when I installed them on my 20' cargo trailer.

Another video when I installed a set on a smaller cargo trailer.

I just replaced my 6 year old trailer kings with carlisle radial trail HD they look to be a well made tire. I have read that they are better than they used to be. We buy them at work for our trailers and have not had an issue with them. I just installed them today and have not driven any where on them but they are D rated instead of my old tires which were C. I was looking at the Goodyear tires but did not want to spend the extra 30+ per tire but now I wish I would have.

And no Carlisle tires have not gotten better. I know from experience.

Carlisle makes about four different line of ST tires. So which line did you have issues with.
Carlisle deservedly had a bad rap for shoddy cheap tires several years back but like Goodyear their newest line was a big improvement. Thanks

The Carlisle HD tired have worked well for me. Goodyear will never see a dollar from me since I support Law Enforcement Officers

scbwr: Thanks, I forgot about the Maxxis tire line, I'll look in to them.

I put on one Sailun on the fifth-wheel in 2015 (to replace a LT blowout). Finally retired it (tread getting thin) last year. Starting using Carlisle ST (load range F) tires in 2016. I have had no problem of any kind with either of those brands. I am now using four new Carlisles. (We average about 8,000 miles per year towing.)

I previously used LT tires and had three blowouts with them, so I am not in the "ST tires are no good" camp.

My next trailer tires will be Goodyears.

Maxxis tires worked well for me when I had pop-up trailers and then two travel trailers. I haven't followed any recent reviews of them but would suggest that you do.

I understand Carlisles are made in the USA (Tennessee) but I know nothing else for sure about them. I heard they were bad years ago and have gotten better but I have no experience with them.

I agree, would NOT buy GY
What I did do about 5 years ago was to buy trailer tires from Sams Club, they were (and im not sure about the exact name) but they were called green ball or something like that. Any way its the trailer tire that Sams carried, they have been on the trailer for at least 5 years and I have not had one issue with them. I didn't buy them at the time because they were the best, I got them because they were easily available and they were very reasonably priced.... and now I can say they have lasted with out issue of any kind. I have had good luck with them.

TT Tire Recommendation

Well..... TTs have 13"/14"/15"/16" and a few with a few at 17.5" wheels.....and load range C/D/E/F/G.
For a good recommendation for your trailer we need the trailers OEM tire and wheel sizes. Makes a huge difference.

Many people like Sailun tires and the Carlisle HD tires. I don't have any personal experience with either of them though.
