who to use.
Here's the scoop, nearly every 3yrs we're having to replace these tire's due to dry rot more then actual use/wearing out. This set, IIRC, are bridgestone's with plenty of life left tread-wise, but, they are barely 3yrs old and have so much dry rot, I'm afraid to even put that boat on the street.
My thing is, I can't see the point in spending $80+ tire, just to have them dry rot anyways in the Colorado weather.
Tire size is 205/75 R14's - I do not need anything fancy, just something that tracks well down the highway and obviously something that grips decent on a slippery wet dock.
I see Goodyear has actual Load C Marathon trailer tires, but I've not had good luck with Goodyear in the past.
Any other ideas?? I have your typical Passanger tire on it now, and have had P tires on it for years without issue, so no worries there.
Also, other then either taking them off or covering them for the winter, anyone know of any tricks to keeping the harsh winters from attacking them?
