I hope this is appropriate for this forum. I've got a 20ft trailer weighing about 2200lbs and it's about 6 years old with dry rotted 235-75-15 Hancook radial LT light truck tires from when it was new. What's the best brand tire to replace it and should I stick with radial / LT tire or go with a trailer tire. Although I dont use it more than once a year I want to put good tires on it. I figured some of you guys tow your race or show cars all over the place and can best tell me what to avoid if I don't want to worry about tire faiulre. Oh.. max veh weigh would be a 4300lb vehicle on the trailer. Thanks for your help!

I spoke with a tire guy earlier this week about trailer tires and he recommended Good Year Marathon 6 ply trailer tires.

Yup I recomend Goodyear also, I just bought 4 of them to replace my old 9 year old goodyears. They had at least 20K miles on them and were not wore out but were too old for my liking.

I don't like the "towmasters" as they are china tires. Not alot of choices for trailer tires that I know about.

Definetly get ST trailer tires for sure.

I had 16" goodyears on a 49' enclosed that I pulled over 60K miles with the same tires and they NEVER let me down.

235s are plenty for your weight, 225 would work also.

My open trailer uses 205-75-15 and I have at least 10K miles to test them and they have never let me down.

wHEN i BOUGHT MY NEW TIRES LAST MONTH i READ THIS about Goodyear tires, They say to add 10 PSI over what the tire sidewall says if you trailer over 65 MPH, who doesn't?
