Not to say that the other tires are not good but I stick to the big brand names when I buy ANY tire and for a TT its Goodyear Marathon...never an issue.

Here is one way to really damage a trailer tire that no one considers....rotate it on its axis. To do this you just pull or push the trailer sharply so that the inner tires do not turn so much as they are dragged side ways. This will snap the belts in the tire and cause it to look rounded. This really does not happen on a slippery surface like gravel but on pavement or concrete it is a really big issue.

I have 225/65/15's (IIRC) on my utility trailer. They're a 10 ply equivalent tire. It sits for long periods of time, but I usually check air pressure and take it down the road for 10-20 miles. Dry rot is probably one of the biggest problems with trailer tires......aside from operator error.

Yep. This is why, IMO, it is important to use ST tires. They are designed to withstand this force.

Maybe not an issue for you, but it has been for me. My 5er came with Marathon tires, and I had three blow outs on one long trip. So I replaced all 5 trailer tires with Cooper Trailer Plus tires. No more trailer tire problems. But Cooper stopped selling trailer tires several years ago, so I had to find another brand to replace the worn-out Coopers. I found Maxxis and have had no trailer tire problems with Maxxis ST tires for several years.

That is bad news and I would feel the same way if I were you....I had a friend that also kept blowing tires and it was the axles out of alignment. Not to say that is what you have/had but I am just sharing.

A lot of good words are being said about Maxxis and I will be looking to Maxxis tires when I have to replace my Goodyears.

Personally I love Cooper tires and I am in the process of switching all of my cars to Cooper.

My local farmer/rancher/oil patch tire & fuel store loves Cooper tires too. Mainly because they never argue with him when he adjusts a customer's tires under warranty. If he thinks the tire may have failed because of a manufacturing defect, he adjusts the tire to satisfy the customer, and Cooper always backs him up. He is also a dealer for Goodyear, Michelin, and Bridgestone tires, and those outfits are not nearly so easy to get along with when it comes to tire adjustments. So he pushes his Cooper tires on all his customer.

Well fellas, I’m resurrecting my old thread to give a little update for anyone considering these tires. I’ve had the 4 tires over 2 years now and over 8k miles on them including 2 trips from Florida to New York and back with no issues. There has been hardly any wear and no cracking, I generally run 65-70 mph (faster sometimes.) I did have to bring them in 2 at a time because Discount tire wasn’t comfortable jacking up my trailer due to having torsion axles. All in all they get a good review and I would buy them again.

Hi-Run trailer tires = made in China
WD1231 stock number

ST225/75R15E size, replaced ST205/75R15C. The mounted tires barely fit inside the wheel wells, and rub on the top of the wheel well for severe bumps. But no harm so far.

8.8" (sidewall width inches)

28.3" outside diameter inches.

80 max PSI . Run them at 80 PSI cold, not less, not more, if you want trouble-free towing.

2,830 max load single wheels @ 80 PSI = 5,660 pounds per axle. That may be overkill for trailer axles rated only 5.000 pounds max load, but the result of no overheated tires therefore zero tire problems in the last couple of years makes overkill okay.

Requires 6" wide wheels. DO NOT mount on 5.5" wide wheels that come on most trailers with 15" wheels. Buy new 6'-wide trailer wheels at www.southwestwheel,com

Report: They’ve been on the trailer for a while. I don’t remember buying them. Trailer used for moving furniture when kids, grandkids, great-grandkids, neighbors, or friends move. Yes, I'm and old man with great-great-grandkids.

Just returned from an 800-mile round trip to deliver furniture to a great-grandkid. Trailer loaded heavy but not overloaded going, and empty coming home. Used Reese Strait-Line WD hitch. Cruised at 68 MPH going and 75 MPH coming home. About 10.4 MPG whether loaded or unloaded (the cargo trailer drags lots of wind).

No problems at all. The China Bombs didn’t blow up. As expected, the F-150 with the max tow pkg performed flawlessly.

But while on the road I remembered that I have not repacked the trailer wheel bearings in the last coupla years, so that has to be done before we head out to deliver furniture to a grandkid 1,455 miles one way from Midland County TX to near Columbus OH. Without problems with trailer tires or wheel bearings, that can be done in two long days each way, but us old folks will probably take three days each way.

I just bought 4 Goodyear GY 225/75R15 Endurance ST 10 for my horse trailer.... Good or bad tires? Paid $692 installed.

Geesh, I only paid 500 for Michelin’s LTX for the wife’s suv installed. That seems pricey but I haven’t looked, and I paid 300ish for my trailer tires with lifetime flat repair, balancing
