Tires for small cargo trailer

I have a 5x8 cargo trailer that I use for my tools and I need to replace the Goodyear tires that are on it. What brand of tires do you guy recommend for a small trailer like this?

As of late...the Maxxis has been getting the best reviews and performance. When I need to replace my TT tires...it will be with Maxxis M8008 ST Radials. Here is a link...

Hope this helps...

Assuming you are hauling it with the F-350.

If it is just a 3500 pound single axle, I would put on just about any brand name P235/75r15.

If you load it heavy any brand name LT235.

If it is enclosed cargo trailer I would go to real Goodyear or Michelin ST trailer tires.

Good advice. I currently have 8 Goodyear ST's mounted (2 are spares). Whatever you do, don't get Carlisle tires... They are junk--> And tell'em to contact utahtom if they have any questions
