I'll bet Destroyer will be here soon and give us the scoop though. He seems to know about that kind of stuff.

LOL Thanks for the quodos Brad.

Ok, for what it's worth, I also like and use Carlisle trailer tires. Been using them for decades and never once had one go bad on me. I like the Biased Belted tires rather than the radials for my trailers. Much less side to side squirm like you get with Radials. They make trailers tires for most trailer makers, so I figure that if it's good enough for the makers, it's good enough for me. Plus, they are made in the USA, not some cheap China import that you don't know about.

I use Carlisle USA Trail trailer tires mostly. And to quote their website:
"Carlisle manufacturers tires for many of the most popular trailers in use today. Each of these tires is purpose built to fit a trailer style or application. Carlisle tire builds road ready trailer tires built for work or play".

The Carlisle USA Trail Trailer Tire is a bias ply DOT approved for highway use trailer tire. The Carlisle USA Trail Trailer Tire is often found on boat trailers, cargo trailers, horse trailers, utility trailers and specialty trailers. Carlisle USA Trail trailer tires are made in the USA. They (Carlisle) have been building trailer tires for a long time. They are both innovative and reliable. Carlisle Tire was founded in Carlisle, PA by Charles Moomy in 1917. So they've been around for a long time and have earned the trust people place in them. Since 1917 Carlisle Tire has grown to one of the world largest manufacturers of specialty tires and wheels. Carlisle Tire is know the world over for producing high quality tires, tubes and wheels for all kinds of equipment from ATV's to lawn tractors, golf carts and trailers. Additionally, as I said earlier, Carlisle is a large supplier of OE Tires (original equipment) for many of the leading tractor manufacturers and ATV manufacturers.

So there you have it. The tires I use and why I use them. Mine are 14" rims and they cost about $89 each. For my money they are a well worth it bargain. Oh, and if you really want radials they make them also. I just don't like them as much.
