You see folks posting all over social media about blowouts on their race trailers each week, and asking for advice on which tires everyone else uses. I can tell you that the majority of trailer tire issues come from people overloading their trailers, or running cheap car tires that are just not rated for what their trailer is. Either one is bad, but if you have the right tires on your trailer you can be set and be good to go. I have personally been running a Trailer King tire I got from Walmart on our open trailers for the past 10 years now and have never had an issue. They are speed rated, for 81 mph no less, and they wear great and a night and day better than what we used to run. They have a much more solid tread pattern, don’t cup, don’t wear weird, and balanced perfectly even though folks say you don’t need to on a trailer.
So watch the video from The TrailerSmith below and see what you can learn about trailer tires for yourself.
