  Trailer Tires

I checked at my local SAM's Club for trailer tires. They want $90 for a Goodyear Marathon tire + installation. I was surprised they were so costly. My Cheif Financial Officer (the Mrs.) would be seeking my recall. I'll keep looking for something like those $28 tires mentioned above by 2ndhandlion.

  Trailer Tires

Discount Tire has Tow Masters/Green Ball that are reasonably priced. I understand that Carlisle has made a design change. The old tread pattern that had a zig-zag pattern like a saw tooth used to separate where the tread meets the sidewall. It would usually balloon out in a nice bubble before they broke. The new tread pattern is just straight grooves. TSC and a bunch of other places sell the Carlisle.

  Trailer Tires

Thanks, Yooper. I went looking at my local GoodYear store and got lucky. I found three matching used Marathon P205/75 R15 trailer tires with reasonable tread left. And to my surprise they found another trailer tire of the same size but from a different manufacturer as well. I'll get them all mounted with new valve stems for $90. I thought that was a fair deal.

Now a question on tying the tractor down to the trailer. I've seen people use chain and web belts. I have two long/strong web belts (2" wide) that I was hoping to use. Where is the best spot to run these belts. Do I just loop them over the axles? Do I use the rear frame hitch? Can I run them over an attached implement?

Any advice and/or pictures?

B. Meyer
