Trailer tires is always a hot debate in some circles. You will always hear many voices saying get Goodyear Marathons and stay away from Carlysle.

To be honest, if you have the certificate, use it on either brand. Most, if not all tire failures come from tires that are improperly taken care of. Many people go out and get new radial tires for their trailer and don't balance them. A few months to a year later (depending on how much use the trailer sees) the tires blow out or have tread separations....which should be expected when the tires are not balanced. They bounce and wobble, then when the shocks are not dampened by absorbers, it will transfer to the trailer, then the boat.

biggest issue: Get any radial tire balanced, keep them inflated correctly, out of the sun when the trailer sits for long amounts of time, and rotate them like a regular car/truck tire and they should last a while.
