I went with Carlisle Radial Trail HD, load range D.  However, they don't come in ST235.  I went with ST225 on same rims and they are fine.  A number of friends did the same size change with Goodyear Endurance.

The first tire dealer would not guarantee a fresh tire and would not return it to warehouse.  I went to another dealer and they agreed to send back a tire if over a year old.  The pair of tires turned out to be 6 months old.

If you want to stay with 235, you might have to go with LT235 from Sams or Costco.  They are big enough to demand fresh tires from warehouse.

Trailer Tire Sources

I have an R-pod 180 and it's that time to buy new tires.  

Two issues:

1.  ETrailer, the only company I could find that has these in stock, will not guarantee a minimum age of their tires.  Theoretically, they can send me two, six year old tires for $621.  Since these are shipped, I cannot check the date code before buying like I do on my car tires.

2.  Local dealers do not have a tire with the below specs and I cannot find an online source that has them in stock except for Etrailer.  Still searching.

Anybody have a good source for tires meeting the below specs (in stock) and can guarantee a minimum tire age?

ST235/75R15
Max load 2910 lbs @65 psi
Speed Rating L 75mph
Load Range D

Thank You
