I agree that load rating is the most important. The best bang for the buck I have found on tires and wheels are through Cabelas. Their trailer tires are 8 ply and have an excellent load rating value. You can use any tire with the correct load rating just make sure that it is the correct size and not too wide for your fender.

Anyone ever heard of Deestone brand tires? I have a boat trailer with 4.80x12 tires and have had bad luck with carlisle tires getting bubbles on them or dry rotting on the side walls within a year. I was calling around getting prices on 4.80x12 tires and a dealer told me of Deestone brand tires, he said that they are alot better tire than carlisle and are a 6 ply load range c instead of 4 ply load range b like carlisle. Can anyone tell me they're opinions on this brand?

The inflation for Goodyear tires is higher than shown on most boat trailers. Also they are only rated to 65MPH

If we concentrated on the really important stuff in life,

there'd be a shortage of fishing poles

Do not buy Carlisle tires. Junk Junk Junk. I have them on my boat and a trailer at work. All the tires have the same crazy wear pattern, with just a couple thousand miles. Had to replace the ones on the trailer at work with less than three thousand miles on them. If I pulled my boat longer distance it would be the same way.

I run Green Ball trailer radials on all my trailers. I also have them balanced.

They last a long time, ride smooth, and hold up really well.

Discount Tire sells them

I'll never own another set of Good Year tires as long as I live. Pure junk (bad experiences with both truck and trailer tires). Same with Carlisle. Life is too short, and tires are too expensive to fiddle around with throwing cords, separating carcasses, out of round, and weak sidewalls.

Check out Southwest Wheel in Dallas. New wheels and tires cheaper than new tires only at DT. I balance 'em and run 'em 5 years,toss 'em,and start over with new tires and wheels. The larger/nicer,the wheel/tire combo,the smaller the savings vs. just tires.

need a 205/75/14, having a hard time locating one that isn't another good year! Had a bad blow out last weekend with a GY Marathon... Tires can't be 2 years old... I am putting the spare tire (tow master) on the normal rim and putting the last GY on the spare rim when I have this blow out replaced... Hard to find a decent tire under 100.00!!!

I have had nothing but blowouts with goodyear marathons....went to carlisles that are cheaper and never had another problem in two years.

The goodyears were only 2-8 months old when blowing out.

I have used Carlisle, Goodyear, Maxxis and a few others. They all will blow out if the conditions are right. I currently have to replace my Maxxis tires because both sides have separated belts. It's hard to say why, they are always at the specified pressure and I don't run over curbs. They do sit however, and the trailer uses leaf springs on a single axle.

I've replaced several tires over the past 10 years as trailer tires never last more than about 3 years for me.
