I can honestly say I have had much better luck with certian brands of trailer tires then others. You could not give me a Goodyear or Carlisle. I will never run them again. Got stupid this spring with Goodyears again and blew 2 of the 4 in the first 800 miles. I will also never run a bias tire again. I have not ran them for 15 years.
Greenball, Maxxis, and Gladiator have been good to me. Keep them inflated properly and balance the tires. Most do not do this but it makes a difference, I dont give a **** what the tire guy says, and they will last 5 years. After that you are playing with a live bomb due to dry rot.
Also, the best thing you can do for a trailer that sits for more than a month at a time is jack it up and put it on stands. Flat spots kill tires quickly. Does not happen on cars and trucks just because they get moved.
