Re: Trailer tire info
Now I understand Jeff. My info applies to smaller trailers. Your info applies to REAL TRAILERS. LOL Maybe some of the basics will still be useful.

Re: Trailer tire info
I would not recomend 16 inch Mission tires either. We installed a bunch of them on all differnt kinds of trailers around here, they came on my Haulmark GN as well and did not seem to be having problems. Well coming back from Tulsa a couple of weeks ago belts broke in 2 of them. Got to calling around and I guess they are referred to as "China Bombs" now. Tried to get a couple more so all tires would match and found out the ones I have are no longer being sold in the US and the ones that took their place are worse sometimes letting go in as few as 1500-2000 highway miles and causing major damage when they do. Warehouse that I get my tires from recomended I get them off my trailer as they are a problem waiting to happen and if I had any 15" to stop using ASAP. I am trying to find out if their is any warranty or recall help but so far no luck. Haulmark claims they have not used them in several years but my trailer is only 2 years old and it came with them. If I find out any more I will forward it along as I am sure there are a bunch of guys here with haulmarks.

Re: Trailer tire info
If I could, I'd like to recommend a great 16" trailer tire that I use on my 50' long trailer. Yes those Goodyear G614 are real bad news and were expensive.
Bridgestone R250, DURAVISS, they are modeled after a larger truck tire and have really stiff sidewalls. B

Re: Trailer tire info
Bernie, are the Bridgestones the 235/85/R16 tires? We use lots of Bridgestone and have found them better than other brands for wear. I didn't know they made a smaller tire.

Re: Trailer tire info
Rob, The trouble with getting Haulmark to do anything is that alot of their dealers switch around wheels and tires to accomadate customers and it is possible that that happen to you. It happen to me and my dealer tried to pass it off on Haulmark, I trold him I saw his guys take them off of his stockroom floor and put 'em on my unit. At that point he sucked it up and replaced the two tires and nice rims.
