I need to replace my 20+ year old trailer tires. 18ft flatbed Has 205/75D15 LR C on it Local tire shop has flat rate for mount and balance regardless of where the tires come from. Looking at going up yo LR D I would appreciate some pointers on purchase. BTW don't want them to pop on the first run.

Dave I just checked with my old tire suppliers, Carlisle D's should cost you in the neighborhood of $88.26 each. Goodyear D's in the neighborhood of $117.00 each + mounting and balancing. Yes, we found out trailer tires can use balancing if you are on the highway all the time.

X2... In over 50 years I've never ever had a Goodyear tire wear out, the casing will always give up before it wears out. I even had a new Goodyear tire that was up under a pickup bed that had never touched the road just blow out in the spare rack.

If it was fun to pull in LOW gear, I could have a John Deere.

I’ve had great luck with Firestone HT tires. Use them on both dually & trailer. Keep them rotated for even wear & 80psi. Worn thread tires finish as Gravity wagon tires. Since year 2000, I’ve never had one of them pop!

I've had several sets of the Firestone "HT" series tires on my Dodge dually over the years. Truck was always heavy so all six replaced at the same time. Still have one new but they have changed to the "HT2" variant now so I'll find another NOS tire someplace to run this one out.

Truck rated load range is not a problem, automotive rated even as load rated is a problem. ST coding is preferred.

Goodyear makes or markets many other brands. Some of which I actually thought were independent companies on their own. I too have not had very good results with Goodyear tires.

Ran D or E rated tires on my tri-axle and tandem trailers for years and no problem with DOT inspection stickers as long as tated load and use were per commercial rating and not passinger car or low gvw so called truck .
