Trailer Tires
 

My trailer is going to be needing tires soon and wanted to get opinions on what everyone thinks would be the best tire to use. My trailer is an open trailer that is 6-1/2' x 12' and it is aluminum. It's a single axle also.
It pretty much hauls tractors and atv's.

I've run Goodyear Marathons on my tandem boat trailer for years. I like them.
4000 lb boat.

What is the tire size?????

whats the gvw on the trailer?

I prefer light truck tires over trailer tires on trailers I haul a lot of weight like a car. Passenger car radials on tandem boat trailers.

I know what the experts say, just giving my opinion on what works for me me for quite awhile.

14" tires and the trailer has a 3500# axle under it.

same here.

Thanks guys!
Speak up and don't be shy! Give me some more opinions! LOL

I always run used automotive tires. the trailer tires I've had were terrible. had brand new ones blow out on us and leave us stranded. don't have problems out of the used auto ones. you can get them 44 psi and they're a little heavier built.

I use a tire design for a trailer. I also have a spare tire on my trailer in case I have a problem. Make sure the tire you buy can handle (load rating) you intend to haul. Info is on the sidewall.

Most passenger car tires have less support in the sidewalls than a tire design for trailers. Buying used passenger car take offs is a no-no in my book. You do not what kind of life they had in the past plus there life span has expired.
