    New tires for dual axle trailer

    I used the search option and found lots of posts about trailer tires. I really didn't find many current posts. I have a Champion 203 with a 250 merc on a dual axle trailer. Would like to get new tires. Looking for suggestions for the best.
    Thanks - Steve

    Everyones opinion is going to be different. Except maybe to stay away from Goodyear Marathons. I run Carlisle Radial Trail HD. Been running Carlisle on all my trailers (boat, utility & RV) since the mid 90s and always had good service from them. They build only specialty and industrial tires. The Radial Trail HD is also rated to 81 mph.

    This is great info, thanks! I remembered seeing something about these. Is there a particular dealer that sells them?

    I get mine through a local dealer here in Abilene, but like mentioned, I think Discount Tire carries them.

    Had Carlisle's on my current, and previous trailers. Never had an issue with them.

    I've been running Carlisle's for years without issues, and yes, Discount Tire does carry them.

    Got these on the Ranger trailer and they aren't very round. Got Goodyear Endurance on the Champion they ride good and are round unlike other Goodyears.

    I'll play devils advocate. Dad and I each had Carlisle grenade on our trailers. When mine did, they were barely 2 years old, garage kept and up to full pressure. It blew out my fender when the tire came apart. Now I replaced them with Maxxis 8008 and have been more than happy. So for me, it's either Maxxis 8008 or Endurance and nothing else.
