I'll add my $.02 to second this with Bob. Been pulling boat trailers for almost 30 years now. LT tires of the proper load rating work just fine. No bounce or sway etc. Goodyear marathons may be good for 3 years, but will crack and prone to blowout after 3 years. My truck tires give me more than 3 years and never crack or craze. I bought a brand new Triton Boat and others I know have bought new boats and the trailers don't come with "Trailer Tires". So my 30 years of experience says LT truck tires of the proper load rating for the axle work just fine. If you choose "ST Trailer tires" make sure and replace them every 3 years or so.

Who told you that lie? And their Radial Trail HD's are actually pretty good for the money.

Goodyear Endurance, only trailer tire made in America. Check the ratings and specs. Best there is, period. I bought from etrailer in the past and good service but all their tires are made in China and here's one of them.

Just returned from another 1600 mile trip on my Power King towmax tires with no problems. Kept them at 52# drove mainly 70 mph. I did pick up a IR thermometer and kept a close watch on my hubs. That is the only way to go for peace of mind on them bearings.

Yes. Many RV companies are using LT tires on their trailers.

It's like parts on a warehouse shelf. They are made to be used, not stored.

Those are what I have and have not had any issues. Recommended by the guy at Discount tire a few years back.

Same here, 5 years with no problems.

They also price match. Just bought a new set of 205/75-14 Radial HDs for $59 ea. (Wal-Marts sale price) to replace my old ones. Had almost 20k miles and still plenty of tread left but date stamp was from 2014.

Couldn't get Goodyear Endurance tires anywhere in my area. So went with Hercules tires. We will see.
