....agreed.....the sidewall flex in trailer tires provide added shock
absorption to the springs...and they tend to have better heat dissipation. said Huck

I have seen heavy sidewall bias ply trailer tires and radial trailer tires. I would think the difference in construction type would have more affect on that than being a "trailer" tire or a "car" tire. Of course living in Arizona I tend to only buy the more expensive tires for anything because the heat on our highways will tax any tire. Bob La Londe www.YumaBassMan.com

Of course living in Arizona I tend to only buy the more expensive tires for anything because the heat on our highways will tax any tire. Bob La Londe www.YumaBassMan.com 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!

Bass Wishes from South Florida! Jack http://www.bassguidesoftware.com 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 BD
