Another Tire Question Thread, Tow Max?
It's about time to replace the tires on my flatbed car trailer. I have ST's on it now, and am wanting to upgrade to radial LT trailer tires. My neighbor "knows a guy" at a tire shop in town and says he can get them at cost. I told him what I wanted...
He came back with a 205/75 R 15 8 ply made by "Towmax", for $57.35 each.
Isn't the Towmax a Chinese tire? And if it doesn't say "LT" on the side, then it's not an LT, right?
I don't put many miles on my trailer, but I don't want a crap set of tires on it either. I'm looking for at least 2K lb load per tire, my trailer gross weight is 8K.
So who still makes a good radial LT trailer tire?

Looked them up on Tire rack.com. They are ST's, and are load range C, max load 1820, so even though I told him what I wanted, he came back with something else.
So what's a good LT tire choice?

Senix,
That is the direction I'm going to go I think. I did look around for some suitable tires for a 15" rim and didn't come up with anything I liked. So yeah, 16"s and LT's are in my future.
Thanks for the replies.
