    Trailer tires

    This has been beat to death but wondering have an of y'all got trailer tires thru Walmart? They are the cheapest I have found. Not going back with goodyears. Read a lot of negatives about the new version of them. The goodyears I have now lasted 14 years before they have gave it up.

    If you're talking about negatives about Goodyear Endurance tires, I would like to know more. All I've ever heard is highly positive...so much so I just bought a pair for my trailer .
    Don't worry Ma'am....

    The new Goodyear Endurance tires have very good reviews on many forums.

    Does Goodyear have another trailer tire out? I have seen several pictures of blown out tires. I know that who knows the condition of the tire before. I have never been a big fan of goodyears when it comes to car and truck tires.

    The Goodyear Marathons were a problem. Many blow outs tearing up fenders!

    I get Carlisles from Discount tire. Think they are 100-120 out the door and hold up well.

    I recently replaced 10 year old Maxxis tires with Tow Master trailer tires. Got them at Universal Tire, I have done tire business with him 20 years, he said he had been selling them for a while with good service from them.

    im running maxxis with no problems, bought a set of carlisiles a few years ago, within a year caps on all even the spare were separating. I believe im running maxxix m8008, no problems after a few years and reasonably priced

    I've got a feeling that the OP is referring to China made Marathons.

    Walmart sells the tires I got from Amazon. They are 8 ply Load D carlisles $50 each. Those things are beastly! I only have about 1500 miles on them so far, but so far so good.

    I have these tires on my tandem trailer for a year and half now with no complaints. Trailer has been from Virginia to New York twice and no problems.

    DOES anyone make a "white Lined Letter" trailer tire anymore?
    my last set i went with the Carlisle and this time was gonna go with the Maxxis, but NEITHER one come in white letter anymore...only solid black and it looks a little odd compared to the factory look...
