+1. And they have lower rolling resistance. It sounds like Jpntime put light truck tires on. Never put passenger (P) or light truck (LT) tires on a trailer. Special trailer (ST) tires are built differently. |

Remember to get trailer tires, not car or truck tires. The sidewalls are stiffer.

While in Florida last winter I replaced the factory tires with Freestar tires on my 178. I only had about 10K miles on originals, but they were wearing unevenly pretty badly. Be sure to have the new wheels/tires balanced. The originals were way out of balance. I only have a couple of thousand miles or so on the Freestars.

I guess I should've said mine was a Hood River addition so it came with off-road tires already

I put some BFGoodrich all-terrain Same size that it came with but had a higher speed rating and the load range was way good for the trailer plus their design for a light truck figured they'd be more reliable Plus they're made in the USA

Don't worry about brand, just get the same size. Radial.

Thanks for the quick reply. I am in South Carolina and never heard of this brand. Hopefully I can locate some locally.
