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

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.
