Will trailer tires be marked somehow?? Got 2 new tires for my trailer from a friend at Firestone but not sure if they are trailer or car.

So it would be ST195/75.....instead of P195/75.....

Would I be better off getting Goodyears or Carlisles?? Mixed reviews here on these two brands.

Anyone know how good Greenball tires are?? Discount carries them. Also found them at selecttire.com. It is cheaper to buy them and have them shipped to my house than to buy them locally. I think they are around $80 each at DT. Select tire has them for $43 each plus shipping. About $200 for 3 shipped. At DT they would be considerably more.

Just one other thought to this after reading about how important running the 50psi is...
If you have been running 40 psi for some time and decide that now its time to bump them up to 50 for a long trip be prepared for a roadside assistance...
Just FYI
I Now will keep that at 50..from new.

Should I worry about it since it will only be used as a spare?

Anyone?

I have two old auto tires on my boat trailer from the previous owner which have both thrown tread. I need to replace them with trailer tires but the auto tire does not match up in size to any trailer tires. The tires on there now are 185/70/13. What size trailer tire is the equivalent to that? Looks like I will be buying from selecttire.com as none of the local places could help me with the 13" trailer tires. Any help is appreciated.

I have had to replace 7 Goodyear Marathon tires in the past year. I have 3 boat trailers and a travel trailer. Every one blew out sitting in the driveway and not moving. Even the spare tire on the trawvel trailer blew out. If these go bad I will never buy another Goodyear product and would suggest every one do the same. Could use suggestions on a good tire brand.

I've been running regular car tires to haul my Ranger around for years. No problems, no flats. I'm running steel belted radials. Trailer tires or car tires both are succeptible to flats. Only difference I saw is that my radials tend to allow my trailer to bounce a little down the road as apposed to a stiffer ride. My Ranger doesn't seem to mind as long as I get her to the water.

Trailer tires are designed for intermittant use with long periods sitting in one place. They are designed to not develop flat spots from sitting.

Car tires if left sitting under load for long periods will get a flatspot in them, and will cause addition wear, as well as additional bouncing type stresses.

Go with trailer tires, the extra 15/20 per tire is well worth it.

IMO, Carlisles are a waste of time and money. My last set of tires I ordered from a tire company on Burnet Rd. in Austin. I ordered Marathons, but Goodyear sent the place HMG 2020's. So far, they have been good tires. They say "Property of U-Haul" on the sidewalls though, so I kept my receipt.
