Trailer Tires

[496 BB]

Im in the market for some tires form my 16' enclosed trailer. Want a good tire but it seems all reviews on the net are all over the place. I currently have Duro's on there and am very pleased with them but they are roughly 5 years old and not sure if quality has changed since Ive had em. Ive read negative things about them. I need a tire that will cruise on the interstate at 75+ mph and not have any sway or issues. These Duro's do so without a single problem. Leaning toward Kenda at local trailer shop. Anyone have these?

Your experiences? Tire size is 205/75/R15.


Edit: I cant even get ahold of Duro and their website is broke on dealer locator so if they cant even do something as simple as that right I may go with Kenda for sure.

IMOP, all 15' trailer tires are junk. the key is to get a good warrenty on the tire. the goodyears on my dads 20' are holding up well but it seems he only gets about 2 years out of them before they start separating. Ive seen that on carliese, kenda, and just about all in between other than bias ply tires. he has discount tire warrentys on them and jsut takes them in, spends 25 bucks for the new warrenty on the new tire and hes on his way

on edit, thats out here in az though. tires dont get along well out here, specially goin over 55mph (what trailer tires are limited to speed wise). your best bet would be to put 16s on it if you can

We used to run trailer tires but with the heavy hauling and twisting on the farm we switched to all load range e transforce Firestone truck tires. 235/85r16 probably wouldn't fit your trailer. I dk hoe small they make them. They are pricey but we have eliminated our blowouts. Now we just blow out rims.

Kenda has a 2 yr warranty from what Im seeing. Plus I just realized they are made right here in my town...lol. Never knew that. Duro's are out. All Chinese shit.

If your talking about the "load star" Kenda they are Chinese. I don't know of any ST radial trailer tires that are American made.

Think they are the Karrier series.

 

[trailerpro]

Karrier are Chinese too. We've had pretty good luck with them though.

when i blew 2 tires on the side of my 28' @ 0130 out in the middle of no where oklahoma, i finally got a hold of somebody and the put maxxis 15" load range E's on. from everything that i have read and have been told by tire dealers is that maxxis if the only company in the US that still manufactors here in the us. i have since changed the other side to the maxxis as well and cant say enough about them?!
