Travel Trailer Tire Recomendation

[bigjeffh]

I need some help choosing travel trailer tires as they are cracking (5 years old). The factory tires are Maxxis Radial M8008 Load Range C 205/75/15. I wouldnt mind them again but no one sells them in the Edmonton area. I dont want to go with junk. Ive heard Denman tires are ok. Does anyone have any idea on what to go with or where to buy them.

Thanks.

Goodyear Marathon 6 ply have done well for me, a dedicated trailer tire.

I bought some from kal tire a few years ago. Think they're called westlake. They are a heavier tire I think 6 ply $120 ish a piece they're wearing good so far But marathon is popular to

continental they are a dedicated trailer tire as well, I believe tire craft sells them.

maxxis seem to have the best rep for trailer tires on the internet anything but china bomb tires which now includes good year marathons

Yep I sell westlake 10 to 1 over Titan.

In my mind they are 1/3 cheaper and better

So unlike others in this thread you are promoting the Chinese brands?

depends on the weight and rim size but if you have 16" rims go with E range truck tires, i know some guys don't agree with the truck tires on a trailer but thats there opinion, you won't have to ever worry about a blow out again like the china bombs, there a little bit more $ than trailer tires. Tires ran cooler on the trailer than my pickup last summer in +30 deg heat in kelowna (trailer is a 5er 11k #'s) also trailer tires have a max 65mph speed rating, truck tires are 80mph +
if not go with the maxxis or marathons

Before purchasing your travel trailers tires, i think you should consult a good tire installer or tire dealer because these are the expertise and they knows what fits best.
