    Need to replace the goodyear marthon radials on the boat trailer this spring. I have had ok luck with them, but I know of a few that have had problems with the new goodyears. Does anyone have a suggestion of a different brand to try or go back with the goodyears.
    Does anyone have a new ranger trailer and what brand of tires are on the new ranger trails?
    Thanks

    Goodyears in the past have given me very good service and years of use.

    I figure when the tires on the trailer wear out, it is time for a new boat. Then I don’t need to worry about what tires to buy.

    I have not had good experiences with Carlisle. The goodyears on my current trailer have been good so far. Not sure of the country of origin. They came on the trailer.

    You are not the only one to experience that. They should be on everyone’s “do not buy list”.

    Carlisles would make good black smoke in the campfire. Only thing they are good for.

    I have a question and didn’t want to start a new thread, so hopefully someone sees this.

    Want to replace the tires on my small boat trailer, the ones on there right now are just carlisle tire/rim from fleet farm I believe. My question is, should I just buy two complete rim and tire, or should I take my rims to a tire shop and get new tires put on. I know I have seen negative carlisle reviews, but I’m assuming the rim are fine and this would be the cheaper route?

    Buying just the tire will be more cost effective.

    Since you all ready checked with Mills, I would also check with Northern Tool.
