Hey all I need new tires for my flatbed gooseneck trailer. Are there any brands you like better than others the size is ST235-80-16. I had also wondered if it would be okay to use 235-85-16 truck tires.
I have been using Power King trailer tires lately because I can buy them for around $125 a piece mounted. If you use truck tires they just need to be load rated at least E and they will be more expensive.gertman":9q2d95ak said:Hey all I need new tires for my flatbed gooseneck trailer.

My trailer came with some GARBAGE radial trailer tires, I've had about 3 flats in EACH tire and I've only had them 2 years, they just really hold on to the gravel and it'll just work it's way into them in no time.
Truck tires are OK too as long as they have the rating needed. I need new tires on both my truck and trailer, I'm looking at about a $1400 bill
