northernsnooker Posted January 26, 2020 Report Share Posted January 26, 2020 Gonna need a little more infor. What size MA? What brand of trailer? What does the sticker on the trailer say? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wanaflatsfish Posted January 26, 2020 Report Share Posted January 26, 2020 take a pic of the current tire....chances are you won't be able to change the tire size, only the brand....I ran Maxxis for 10 years, just changed over to Goodyear Edurrance based upon great reviews on RV forums....Kumho is another brand which has had good results.... Years ago, Goodyear Marathons were NOT recommended by most - although some had no issues.... This is always a good discussion....just get a good quality tire, rated "D" if you can, keep the tire pressure at max and you should be fine....change every 3 years... dc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DonV Posted January 26, 2020 Report Share Posted January 26, 2020 "Years ago, Goodyear Marathons were NOT recommended by most - although some had no issues...." No kidding!! Replaced the four Marathons on one of my trailers, two had blown the other two were close to useless, took them to the landfill and the attendant laughed at me and said there was an extra charge for those Goodyear's because they were such junk even the dump did not want them. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
algi Posted January 28, 2020 Author Report Share Posted January 28, 2020 The reason i ask is because i have a 17 ft MA with 14 inch tires on a magic tilt and there isnt much room between the tire and fender The springs are fine too. I might have to raise the fender a bit Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bernieNC Posted January 29, 2020 Report Share Posted January 29, 2020 Trailer model number should dictate the tire size. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drummer Posted January 30, 2020 Report Share Posted January 30, 2020 Probably ST205/75R14. Maxxis and Carlisle are great brands. Ask me how I know these things... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In my opinion the above brands have gone down hill lately. I suggest Goodyear Endurance, the RV guys like them and they are made in America.

RacerxV6 Posted February 2, 2020 Report Share Posted February 2, 2020 Whatever you buy, you should make sure that you buy bias ply. The bias ply has a stronger sidewall and will carry the load better. Yes, radials have better tread wear but that is not what kills trailer tires. Carlisle tires have always been good tires for trailering. Hope this helps.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoneyB Posted February 2, 2020 Report Share Posted February 2, 2020 I prefer radial tires myself. They ride better and I have experienced longer life with radials. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drummer Posted February 2, 2020 Report Share Posted February 2, 2020 Radials are far superior in every aspect IMO: lower rolling resistance, better ride, longer life, cooler running, and so on and so forth. Bias or bias-belted sidewalls can be sturdier, which is not necessarily a plus. Just buy good tires, and make sure they have the proper load capacity. Also, keep them inflated to recommended pressure! After 5 years, replace them regardless of how nice the tread looks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jason p Posted February 2, 2020 Report Share Posted February 2, 2020 If you want to buy Maxxis, check and see where the nearest warranty service shop to your location is. It’s the reason I switched to the Goodyear endurance tires. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bamaskeet Posted February 3, 2020 Report Share Posted February 3, 2020 After successfully using a set of Maxxis tires, I’ve had two unexplained blowouts in my last set. I’m running Goodyear Endurance now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fatherof4 Posted February 5, 2020 Report Share Posted February 5, 2020 I have 205 75 R15 on my 1996 Master Angler Trailer. Single axle, aluminum trailer. Trailer is not original. No idea on the brand. I just go to my local tire place and ask for the best trailer tire they sell in this size. In 30 yrs of boating, I have had 1 blowout and it was due to age of the tire.
