Needing some tires for stock trailer. Quotem them at 2 local places one has Duro (spelling?) and the other has Gladiator, anyone have any experience with these? What i found by searching says the gladiator is China made but then the Maxxis that is on it are China also. They are about the same price.

Tom if you have the clearance try going with a 235/75 or 85 /15 as you can usually find them in a heavier ply than the 225s ( can't remember which)

I agree. Go with the largest size/heaviest load rating tire that will fit. Trailer tires really take a beating with heavy loads on hot days. Run the maximum air pressure allowed too.
A word of caution. The tires on my trailer are rated for 120psi air pressure but I only run 80 psi because that is what the rims are rated for.

Good tip on the max pressuer for the rims. I also need tires for my stock trailer/ horse trailer. When I got it used, it had truck offs- 285- SR- 75- 15 never had any problem, but I think I need trailer- non-radial tires for it.

bias ply tires are junk and won't handle the heat near as well as a radial
look around you sure won't see any of the guys running up and down the road everyday running bias ply tires

I'm in the process of straightening out the tire situation here also.
I decided to change out the dually rims on my flat bed trailer and also on the smaller stock trailer to 16" rims so that they match the tires on my two trucks.
Purchase new tires for the trucks and rotate the older ones to the trailers.
