0 iffwalleyes Posted April 23, 2003 Share Posted April 23, 2003 I have had Dico and they have made several trips up there. Goodyear also make a good trailer tire. It really doesn't matter as long as you get something with a high load rating. I think the ones on my trailer are load range C. ------------------Grip it and Rip itIFFWalleyesI Fish For Walleyes[This message has been edited by iffwalleyes (edited 04-28-2003).] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Big Bobber Posted April 23, 2003 Share Posted April 23, 2003 Be sure to go with a raidial type tire if you were running a bias ply in the past. They will run cooler and last longer, plus they pull much easier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Kevin Turner Posted April 23, 2003 Share Posted April 23, 2003 Big Bobber is right on point. The best IMO is the Goodyear Marathon Radial C rated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Scott Steil Posted April 24, 2003 Share Posted April 24, 2003 If you are running the original tire from your trailer manufacturer you should expect one year at best with moderate to heavy useage. (some of the top of the line trailers are different)The best thing you can do is take that trailer in and get a good set of radial tires. It will be the best investment you can make!!------------------Mille Lacs Guide Servicewww.millelacsguideservice.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Paul Rohweller Posted April 24, 2003 Share Posted April 24, 2003 One thing, beings your in getting new tires have the guys put the loaded trailer up on the alignment rack and have the trailer aligned, this will add many miles on your tires.

0 Guest Posted April 24, 2003 Share Posted April 24, 2003 From what I've heard if you have bias ply tires on your trailer you should replace them with bias ply tires. Radial tires have too much side to side play and can start the trailer fish tailing at high speeds. This can be a bad thing when the tralier wants to pass the car your towing with...Good Luck....Wishin2BFishin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 ice-man/vexilar-king Posted April 24, 2003 Author Share Posted April 24, 2003 As always Chemist your info is golden. Of course I ment the trailer, didn’t mean to confuse you. Ha! If it helps I have a heavy duty shore lander trailer. About getting the trailer up on the alignment rack and have the trailer aligned how does that work. What do they align? One more question; I have bearing buddies on the trailer, how often do you guys check the grease in them/or replace it? C&R~~~~>’)))))>< Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Paul Rohweller Posted April 26, 2003 Share Posted April 26, 2003 Alot of boat trailers are assembled in a hurried fashion. Sometimes the axle isnt quite square under the trailer, a simple sliding of the spring mounts will do the trick, camber and caster issues are dealt with by tweeking the axle itself to bring it into specs, I had this done to my trailer a couple years ago, my tires are wearing but in the correct way, before I was cupping on the inside, took it in, no longer a problem, that was 25,000 miles ago. No piece of fishermans equipment gets abused or neglected like a boat trailer..A good tire shop should be able to handle it..Good luck!
