Trailer Tires

I tried your link and nothing in 215/75R/15..it's either 205 instead of 215 or 14 instead of 15. Can you find them? Im all eyes = thanks
Sorry, my bad, actually my searches do not give any 215 trailer tires, only passengers.
The tires you have are passenger tires and as i understand there ate no trailer tires in 215 with 15" rim
They recommend moving to 205 or 225
See if it helps

Tire rack cheapest was $105. Walmart has Tornel for $76. Are Tornel any good?

I'll look at simple tire too
Its not about price. Its about how many ply the tire is. Remember it only cost twice as much to do it right the 1st time

Different trailers, different tires. On my flat bed that I only use locally, and rarely at speeds over 50 MPH, I buy on-sale tires from Walmart. Most are from China and I suspect 10 different brands are made exactly the same in the same factory. With few miles on this trailer per year, the tires will dry rot and need to be replaced long before they wear out.
On my horse trailer that gets lots and lots of high speed interstate miles with a heavy and valuable load, I buy much higher quality tires (I hope). Currently I am running Hankook Vantra tires, made in South Korea. So far so good.

Hello to all,

Need two P215/75R15 trailer tires. Any specific brand or ones to stay away from? Is there an online outfit you can recommend? Never bought tires online, so I was wondering if that route is even good due to no seeing before they arrive?

This is for my farm 18Ft trailer [4 total tires, no brakes] that 99% of the time never leaves the ranch. Used mainly for hauling things around the farm.

Thank you very much,
tom
Go with what ever tire is the cheapest with the most ply; If they are just being used on the farm, & not on paved surfaces also look into the load range for the amount of weight your putting on the trailer, & when your not using your trailer try to park it where it's mostly shaded the tire will last longer, & keep the tires properly inflated. I've bought most of my car trailer tire's on line without a problem, But ask about when the tires where made, If they guarantee the tire with any type of warranty most of the time if they do they want you to have them mounted at a approved installer. What You choose is up to You; If you are happy with the tire that are on there than stick with that brand.

Its not about price. Its about how many ply the tire is.
It also matters where those plies are.

A radial may have several in the tread area but only a few in the sidewalls. That's one reason I like bias ply tires - a stouter tire and generally for a lower price.

That they don't tend to experience tread separation because of age is another plus.

I've had good luck with Carlisle (Now called Carlstar) on our horse trailer. I don't care for the skimpy tread on Goodyear, they look half worn out when they're new. Almost every Chinese tire I've used has started to separate before the tread is worn down.

Probably any brand, but don't cheap out on the specs. I had to move a farm tractor in an emergency and blew out 2 new tires. Get at least 6 ply.

The cheapest E rated LT tires will outlast trailer tires. Or I would go to 14 ply trailer tires.

This is my source for 90% of my tire purchases
