Need Trailer Tire recommendations!

[Frayed Knot]

Hey folks, I need some advice on trailer tires for my boat trailer. I have been using Goodyear Marathon for several years but have not been that impressed. I am looking to "upgrade" on this next set of tires. Any suggestions good or bad?

Carlisle....so far so good.............6 ply's. I had Marathon's and find them overrated...

So far so good with tires from Tractor Supply.

Just go with an "ST" rated tire. They should be 6-ply and remember that you get what you pay for in most cases. It amazes me how many people just put regular passenger tires on a trailer pulling something as valuable and revered as a boat. I was pulling a boat for a family member one day and had a sidewall blow out on the trailer tire. Luckily I was able to come to a safe stop with no damage other than the tire. Learned about the difference in tires shortly thereafter.

I have had bad luck with Carlisle. Had one blow out that was 1 1/2 years old that was hanging on the rack on my trailer that had never been on the ground. Looked like someone had put 500 pounds of air in it. I'll stick with Goodyear.

Carlisle is the way to go. I had no luck with the Goodyear.

I quit running ST's and went to P's. Last a whole lot longer and work just fine for me.

If what you are saying is that you went to Passenger car tires over trailer tires, that's a dangerous game to play. Passenger car tire sidewalls are not stiff enough for trailers.
