I know everyone has seen the recent Trailer tire thread. Just wanted to ask what is everyone using for Load Range G 16" tires?

Goodyear..

Carlisle CSL 16 high speed trailer tire for a season now. No issues. It is manufactured in their plant in China.

It's been quite a while, but Carlisle used to be one of the worst trailer tires. Everyone I knew blew them out. Maybe better now though.

Agreed. Not sure when this design was introduced. They're built with all steel cords etc. It's a heavy (60 pounds) tire rated to 81 MPH. The Westlake that comes on most RV trailers is the one that will eat itself up at any moment now.

Carlisle tires are the worse, the cheapest always have been still are.

Sailun / Longmarch great trailer steel tires. Keep in mind you need the rims above 80 PSI and steel valve stems.
We just bought 12 235/80 and 235/85 from East Bay Tire out here. Great prices.

Are you running the Sailun's now or did you just get them?

I saw a friend of mine show up in Memphis years ago with a new trailer. It was a nice 48'ish Gooseneck. half of the sides were torn off of it. It had Carlilse tires on it. I have had pretty good luck with the Longmarch 14 ply tires. I know they are China made but you can tell by looking at them the rubber is real rubber. I guess we'll see if they make it four seasons and 24,000 to 29,000 miles.

Goodyear 614 I think is the tire number, its 614 or 641 but that is the best tires I have ran on my trailers.

Goodyear

I also added a TST tire monitor system to my rig and can read each tire temp and pressure with warning alarms if the pressure goes below a set level.

Mike, I have a Tire Minder system that measures pressure and temp and will give me alarms on both.

For the last two years yes. My trailer, Jeffs Stacker, sons 48 car Transport, his 4 Horse living Q as well as many friends trailers. The company I deal with has their own brand made there also.
