 Trailer Tires

I have used Goodyear Marathon trailer tires and will NEVER use them again. After a few years the tires ALL started to blow up just setting on the rim not moving. They were properly inflated. I have since gone to using Task Master tires. They are the cheapest tire I could find at $28 for a 205-75R-15 and they have worked GREAT! Sometimes el cheapo is just as good if not better. These tires are not radials but I find that the trailer does much less "sqirming" or wallowing from side to side due to a much firmer side wall. DO NOT use an automotive tire for trailer use. The side walls are not nearly as rigid and the trailer will handle poorly with heavy loads. I learned this the hard way towing a boat that the previous owner installed automotive tires on.

This company was about a 2 hour drive from me so I drove and picked up a truck load of tires. Real nice folks to deal with.
