Hey guys,

It is time to get new trailer tires. I have a Sportsmans Trailer, and I think they are 13". What kind of tires do you recommend? Right now it has Carlisle tires on it, and they didn't seem to last very long. So, what is the best trailer tire for these trailers? Thanks for the help.

whatever you do dont get falcon

I put some regular car tires on mine and haven't had any problems with them and got the warranty so if I get a blow out they will replace it.

Whatever you do, do not replace with carlisle. I got some interco trailer tires in New Iberia for $98 for the pair maounted and everything. They have been on a while and I've had no problems.

Tow Master supposed some real good tires. Had them on another trailer of mine and never had any problems. When the ones on this new trailer need replacing, those are what I'm gonna go with.

Marathon is the best there is.


Overkill for an aluminum but the best.

A quality auto tire is really all you need.

I agree with River. The Marathons by Goodyear are at the top of the list. That's what I roll on the trailer for the bass boat. I just didn't mention them because, like River said, they are overkill for the aluminum. Not to mention, they are at least $130 a tire.

go get sum 15$ used tires at a tire place. u can mix match size and brands.

14" Goodyear Marathons. I won't running anything else.

You can get the Goodyears at Sam's and they were definitely less than $130 a tire. I want to say I paid $180 with tax for 2 of them but I had them mounted elsewhere. They were 175/85/13 I think.

wilson.....youre avatar is priceless...

Goodyear Marathons, got my last couple sets from the Tire Rack online.

Whatever you do RDR dont go to walmart and mention tires are going on a trailer if you are looking for just some cheap passenger car tires. Trailer tires in the same size as passenger car tires are going to be quite a bit more expensive. And I guess Walmart has a liability issue and wont allow passenger tires to be put on trailers.

I had Radial car tires on my last mud rig trailer.They were new and had blow out on both sides causing major damage to the fenders and wiring.Went to Tire shop and the guy told me .The reason they did this was from the trailer bouncing down the highway.That the sidewalls of the passenger tire can not handle bouncing.They will come apart where the tread meets the sidewall.I will NEVER use them again.I-10 is a biatch on these tires.

Thinking about ordering me these.

I ordered those from the tirerack a few years ago and everything was great. I would have ordered them again, but like I said, Sam's had them cheaper.

I do know this 'bout them tires ....... that all's recomend proper inflation ... which I am bad 'bout not doin'.

I don't know why .... I gots a tire preasures guage rite there on the console of mines pick-up truck and I just have a hard time keepin' up with the proper inflations. It's not that I'm all that lazy ... I just have a hard time with puttin' the check on that. Temperature will change yore preasure and makes yore tire whar out some kind of bad ifin' it ain't properly inflated ........

ditto on the walmart tire shoppin

Buy em without tellin them anything then go to a shop and have them put on if you wanan go the cheap rout

Walmart wont get anywhere near a dang trailer i had a trailer tire blow all the tread off but didnt actually blow out one time and of course on a sunday..wasnt sure how far i'd be able to go on the inner tire and chords and couldnt get lug nuts off with a 4 way tire tool because they were rusted so knew walmart tire would be open called them and asked if they would just zing the lug nuts off for me and i'd change the tire and myself they said NO we cant and wont touch a trailer tire because we wont be liable

LMAO, "hummingbird ass", no respect for the small man coming from a Hogmally

lol nice russ glad you got a laugh out of it I look back and laugh too but still pissed at that day because the gas station we pulled into after it happened there was an african american state trooper there and I had been tryin to call the road side assiatance on back of drivers license and never could get it to go through so I was like i'll ask him so i did and told him bout the RSA number not workin he was like man I dont know what to tell ya rolled up his window and drove off! I was more pissed bout that then dang walmart but anyhow thats the rest of the story

Got the new tires in the mail today and put them on the trailer. Thanks for the help guys.
