Trailer Tire Recommendation to Replace Goodyear Marathons 205/75 R14 That Blow Out
Question:
Every year I tow a 19’ Bass Boat from Florida to Missouri in July. For the last 4 years I have a blowout or TWO! I’m running Goodyear Marathon 205/75 R14 load range C. I dont put any extra weight in the boat and travel @ 70 to 74 MPH in 90 degree plus heat. I’m getting too old for. This what is the best tire solution I could do.

Expert Reply:
Most trailer tires are only rated for 65 MPH so the issue you are having could easily be from heat build up due to the speed rating getting exceeded. Other possibility is that the tires aren't inflated to their max pressure. Trailer tires need to be inflated to the max pressure to ensure you get the full capacity and and don't cause excessive heat build up.
What I recommend for you tire size is the # 274-000012. This tire has a speed rating of 75 mph and has a weight capacity of 2,0400 lbs at 65 psi. What's also great is that it has a 2 year roadside assistance program
If your RV or trailer has a flat tire, call the help line and a technician will come change the flat for you. You can call 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, and 365 days a year from anywhere in the United States, Canada, or Puerto Rico.
