Well I'm looking for some cheap tires for my trailer. It's not a very heavy trailer, usually used for Home Depot runs a couple times a month and 100 mile trips out of town and back.
Truck bed weighs about 450 pounds (2014 Dodge Ram 2500 long bed) and my ATV weighs around 500-550 pounds. Add in weight of camping gear and the most weight on the 4x8 trailer is going to be maybe 1400-1500 pounds max, so weight shouldn't be much of a concern with tires. Not sure what the trailer frame and axle weighs, maybe 400 pounds.
Also, I mounted the truck bed on myself, it isn't a truck cut in half with a Dodge axle, just a 4x8 trailer with the truck bed on it.
Tire size is currently 235/75-15. It has room to go maybe another inch bigger and still have a little play room.
I'd rather not go too much smaller, would like as much ground clearance with the trailer as possible for desert driving.
Discount Tire currently has their Prodigy brand tires for $68 each, which is a good price.
Was wondering what you guys thought for where to get tires cheap (Tire Rack is a no-go as for price).
Also if there's a size that's cheaper.
Since trailer tires don't really wear down because they sit a lot more than cars, I just want some cheapo tires that can rot off in 5 years or so and I can replace then again.
Thanks!
