That's why I was asking. It seemed to me that a tire designed for use on
trailers would be constructed differently to handle the effects that heavy
loads would have on them, and heat buildup from towing at high speeds for
long distances. We don't have the blistering heat here that you do in AZ,
but the asphalt does get extremely hot during the long hot days of summer.
I've done a little shopping on line, and there isn't much difference in
price, so I'm going with regular trailer designed tires - just have to wait
for another paycheck!

Jack,

I just bought new trailer tires for my trailer. I replaced Goodyear
Marathons with Goodyear Marathons because the other big name in trailer
tires is Carlisle...and there were plenty of Google search hits that
Carlisle tires are not good. They are cheaper than the Goodyears, but
do not last...that was the general consensus.

FWIW
