Ok men what is your opinion on trailer tires? Radial or bias. I upgraded from a 13 to a Montuck 2 years ago so this will be my first time buying larger tires. It calls for 205 75 14 acording to the tag on the trailer. My boat is on a heavy duty Skeeter trailer. My trailer is a bit large for the boat but it allways rides well. Any brands of tires you like or dont like? Thanks Joe

Just stick with the OEM tires that came with the trailer. If your trailer is more than the boat really needs, you'll be just fine with the OEM tires. Personally I wouldn't do the extra expense to get radials, the bias ply should be just fine.

If you decide to get radial tires, Goodyear Marathon are highly rated by guys who travel 100's of miles each year.

I've found that the Goodyear Marathons have a slightly higher load rating than the imports of the same size.
