    I pulled my boat up to “5 Seasons Tire” here in town and in 10 minutes I was back on the road. That was about 20,000 miles ago and they still look like new.

    Norther Hydraulics in Rochester has a decent selection at reasonable prices. Several of their trailer tires can be bought already mounted if you happen to need new wheels also

    Gundy-I’ve had such horrible luck with factory trailer tires that I just spend the money and buy 13 inch steel belted radials. You wouldn’t have to if you put “normal” mileage on your trailer. I put many more on than that so I just go with a tire I know can take it. Certainly you can get by with a lower grade (40,000-50,000 mile) tire. I feel it’s worth it. My experience tells me that standard trailer tires don’t last.

    Ya, I have had the same experience with factory tires also. Set that come with this trailer just chunked off like recaps. Running a steel radial now but i want alittle more tire height and besides i ended up with plugs in both of these tires last fall. So tires are on the to do list this spring when i get the boat out of storage.

    Sams Club in Rochester has the best prices I have been able to find anywhere
