    New tires for my open trailer

    I have to put tires on my open trailer. St205/75/15
    Any recommendations. I dont haul real heavy with it so I don't need $300ea goodyear tires but I dont want a China bomb.
    I want something reliable as use the trailer 10 times a year, but the tires get replaced due to age before wear.

    Tires are for this trailer. It's just a general purpose hauler for me. Click image for larger version.

    I know you don't want China bombs but if you aren't pulling a lot of weight sounds like a perfect use for a set with low mileage i sold mine to a guy for $200 and they have served him well..

    I’ve been using Heartland Radial ST, load range D, 107/102N, same size, on my single axle for 7 months, maybe 2k miles. Single axle 3500 GVWR, hauling 1000lbs (side x side) @ 70 MPH, 3 hours one way trip. Keeping them at 50 PSI. Rough highway for about an hour. So far so good. Tires are rated way over my total weight, which is what I wanted. Got them at discount tire. Don’t remember the price.

    Goodyear marathon are not something I want, right? They are bias ply not radial.
    But a good price at $68/ea

    I have the same size tires on my cargo trailer. In have two 3500 lb axles so a little more carry capacity. I just put on 4 GoodYear Endurance ST205/75 R15 D rated tires for $641.00 out the door. Tires were $481 and the rest was taxes and installation. If you don’t want to spend that much money check out Carlisle tires.

    I have a 7k lb 16' flatbed utility trailer that I picked up dirt cheap years ago. I put some amazon LRD tires that had good ratings on them. I can't remember where exactly they're made, probably china or thailand. They have been very good tires though, no flats, no tread separation, seem to hold air good. Coming up on 6 years with those tires (yikes) and several thousand miles later, still have plenty of tread left. They've hauled several jeeps, toyota trucks, furniture, rocks, trees, tools, and trash. I'd definitely buy them again for that trailer.
