Buy a good quality radial trailer tire. My last set came from OK Tire. Have held up very well.

Just make sure u check on the ware on the tires. Many tire problems r due to alignment and camber issues. I tore through a set of tires in one summer. Problem solved when I took it to Stadens for an alignment/ camber check.

X2 have the trailer alignment checked first then Kal tire or OK will set you up with the proper trailer tires.

I've always had much better luck using LT tires rather than trailer tires. It seems as though just about every trailer tire you find now is offshore, usually Chinese.
LT tires must pass a much more rigorous testing standard as they carry passengers and not just a load.
Find yourself a set of good LT's in the correct size and load rating and you will be happier in my opinion.

For literally like $15-20 more per tire a radial is the only way to go.

Goodyear marathon. Without question these are the best trailer tires.
Worth the small premium over the crap brands out there.
