Best 15 inch trailer tires currently are?

Jeff Teuton · 04-07-2009, 02:41 PM

There are no good 15" trailer tires. Do yourself a favor. I assume you have 6 hole wheels. Get some 6 hole 16" wheels ( aluminums are about 80 unless you find some blems). 16" 10 ply (load range E), run them at least 60 lbs and forget your troubles. Most wheels are 16 X 7, or you can get premium Am Racing 16 X 8 Polished for a good bit more. I have blown too many tires to talk about. And any tire marked trailer special run away from. They are the king of junk.

Dang, didn't know that Carlisle was that bad now. At least I got some good heads up from you guys, Thanks.

And I agree that 16" is the only way to go.

If they helped the mileage, I didnt see it, mainly because I was running a little hotter coming home ! It does seem to be more stable and smoother.

Has anyone used the Denman Radial 15" E rated 80 psi trailer tire? It doesn't seem to be handled by many dealers here in Canada but is apparently available factory direct and they claim to be able to get you replacement service quickly. Can you believe them? Are they any good as a 15" replacement?

I have the 15" denman's. Only starting on my second year with them.
I have a friend that has a heavier boc trailier than mine (dirt car, observation roof, loads of spare tires)
that runs them and he hasn;t had any trouble yet with them.
made in Mexico I think.

Yes I was aware they are made in Mexico. Can anyone else comment on this tire or availabilty or service or price. Going to a 16" is no doubt the best cure, but there must be a better 15" alternative.

After I blew out a couple of Goodyears I checked around and "Towmaster" tires had a good reputation and I bought a set. Good luck so far but I have not got that many miles on them. I run them on a 24ft Classic RTX. The are sold by a company named Greenball. They can be made most anywere in the world. I was told mine would be made in India but when I got them they had been made in Canada. I can't remember the dealer I got them from but could find out if it was important.

When I was doing the search on Greenball I was suprised to see that Jeg's is selling them now.

Good Luck,
Bill
