Curious to know where you guys get your trailer tires from. I just bought a trailer and its got regular LT tires on it which have seen better days.. From my searches ive come to the conclusion that id like to use trailer specific tires to keep the sway down. Ive been searching online but cant seem to find any trailer specific tires that will fit on the 16" wheels the trailer has.
Anyone have any suggestions as to where i can find them online or in so-cal.. Where did you buy yours? Thanks.

I'm looking too, but didn't have too much trouble finding some on the net. I just googled "trailer tires" and just about every link had some for sale.

It's a 32.6" tall tire.

Might try a trailer dealer in your area. I needed a spare for my new trailer and all the local tire shops wanted $100+ for tire and wheel. I ended up going back to the trailer dealer for $50 for the same thing!!

Carlisle seems to be the major one from my research...

I checked out the price and shipping cost on that link. When I ad mounting and balancing it comes out to the same price as I was quoted from Discount Tire

I got some radial trailer tires for mine at the local Discount Tire store. I think they were around $400 mounted and balanced with the road hazzard warranty.

The last time I had to buy a tire, I found a 205-75-15 radial at Goodyear called the "Club". Cost me $48.

I bought my GoodYear Marathon trailer tires at tirerack.com.

Damm OS I couldn't find a trailer tire on the site. I emailed some dipshit named Clancy at ex 623 3 times and called him once without any help. Looks like the goodyears are around 20 bucks a tire more than the carlisles. Any special reason you went with the Goodyears

Weird. I clicked on it and all I saw was trailer tires.

Did you look on the left side?

My poor use of the written word. I had been searching the Tire Rack site before OS posted the link and couldn't find the page. The rep from Tire Rack finally called me back. The cost with shipping for the goodyears from Tire Rack is within a couple of dollars of the price of Carlisles mounted and balanced from Discount.

Well it goes like this:

brother-in-law needed to get his boat to Tahoe on a friday night and his tires were shot[rotten]. I had just bought new generic trailer tires and chrome spokes for my trailer. I sold him my tires and wheels, then took his visa and orderd new stuff for myself! :D

The RV folks like the Goodyear Marathon ST. Make sure you get the ST. They have a LT as wellin the smae sizes. I think that's what I'll go with on our camper.
