Best trailer tires I've ever used are Goodyear, and they have to be special ordered. This used to be all U-Haul would use. Armstrong tires are crap. Check the plys and make sure you don't go below that. If its a boat trailer go to a Boat store, and you can buy tires on the rims, but check the plys!

you can get 4.80 tires at wal-mart, mounted on wheels. They're not the greatest in the world, but if you're not doing cross-country, interstate jaunts, they'll be fine.

If you want some really good ones, try a tire shop, a boat shop, or online, like overtons.com They're a good marine retailer.
