Anyone had any bad experiences with the stock Shoreland’r tires? Trying to determine if they need an upgrade. Don’t want a blow out at highway speeds.

If anyone HAS replaced the tires what did you go with?

I replaced with Carlisle Radial Trail tires. Rides much smoother. No more vibrations. Our original trailer tires were 5 years old and Im sure they had flat spots.

Keep them inflated to 50psi on the nuts and don't go over 70. 500 miles on mine since mid April and no issues.

Mine are pretty bad. Chinese cheapos. I have a dual axle trailer and it bounces noticeably.

I had the dealer evaluate them and all they did was add an extra 15lbs of pressure and tell me to drive it 15 miles and then back it down to in-range PSI. That did not work so I had them balanced at a tire place. It helped some, but the tires are so out of round there is no true solution other than swapping them out with some real tires.

If your trailer bounces, jack each tire up one by one and see how out of round they are. Mine ranged from 3/16 to 1/2. I put the worst ones (after balancing) on the axles furthest from the truck.

The original tires are bias ply and probably not balanced from factory. I swithced mine out to Carlisle Radial Trails , run right at 50 PSI (cold check) as mentioned above, and have them balanced. Problem will disappear. Night and day difference

Had a blow out my 3rd trip with the stock bias ply tires. I replaced with radials which is essentially the cheapest option. Essentially out of the factory my $65,000 boat was riding on a $30 tire. Unacceptable in my option.

Other members have upgraded to 15" wheels so they can use light truck tires instead. My understanding is 15" will fit OK without having to do anything with the trailer fenders.

I can second the Goodyear Endurance tires - replaced the stock tires the first week after I got the boat. I've heard nothing but good things about them. I've had bad experiences with two different trailers that had the OEM crappy tires on them, no way I'm taking a chance with my AR195 like that, especially with the long road trips we do.

We had our Carlisle bias ply replaced by Carlisle with radials - huge improvement.
If I had to purchase new tires though I would go with Goodyear Endurance based on specs, lots of great comments on this forum and reviews on other sites. The radials also improved our mileage while towing

One other thing to take into consideration is bias ply versus radials. My understanding is that the radial is the way to go for long trips/lots of highway miles. (The Goodyear Endurance are radials, BTW.)

I don’t have the boat or trailer, but if all goes well I will by Friday. Can someone advise the correct tire size?

I’ve also heard good things about the Goodyear Endurance tires, I think I’ll go that route if they aren’t $100 a pop.

I believe the stock tires are 215/75R14's for the AR195, but don't quote me on that. That being said, the size and bolt pattern will be highly reliant on the brand and model of trailer you get. If your trailer has fenders, you need to be cognizant of that when choosing tire sizes. Of course, if you stick with whatever size came stock with the trailer, you should be okay. There are reasons for going with larger diameter tires (i.e. 13-inchers to 15-inchers), but in the end, it's really all about the clearance.

Looks like right around $116 apiece right now online........

I blew out one tire after three years of running, but I was going to fast for conditions. Otherwise the tires have been fairly decent.

Anyone having trouble with the stock wheels on a short lander trailer peeling off a plastic coating and then rusting after just a few years?

I swapped mine early on. Use the stocker as a spare.


Paid $300 for radial w/ aluminum wheels (2). Awesome investment IMO.

Well folks, this is great. My first trip was from Yamaha dealer in Dallas Texas to storage in Wichita Falls 125 miles. Just excited to get my NEW 2021 195 FSH CC Sport. Well this last Saturday took out to the lake and back, 11 mile trip back to storage with stop at gas station to fill tank up. After unhooking trailer in its spot did the walk around circle checking the whole package. Touched the tires and boy were they HOT. Yes those are the Carlisle tires everyone is talking about not only here on boats but on travel trailers also.
So tomorrow Black Friday Walmart has the better price on this GoodYear ST215/75R14 108 LR-D Endutance BSW TL so I will purchase two and jack the trailer Saturday early and change them out.
That kind of heat is a disaster waiting to happen when you least expect it.

What was your cold tire pressure (before the tow), what was your tire pressure after?
In general, if correctly pressurized the tire pressure should only rise in the 10-15% range; that also means they should not be getting very hot after a tow. I find that, with trailer tires, this can only be achieved (or even approached) by pressurizing to the max cold pressure number on the tire, usually 50psi. Of course, if you tow on a hot day and scorching hot asphalt, sunny side can get very hot over a long highway tow (say, Arizona in the summer). Otherwise they really shouldn't, maybe warm but not hot. Carlisle hubs are notorious for coming grease-free from factory, so I would check that first, too.
Also, always good to cool off before dunking in the water to avoid water intrusion in the hubs (due to cooling induced suction).

I would give the Carlisles a chance if those are their newer radials, just pump them to the max, check the grease in hubs.
What's the production date? There is usually a 4-digit number, first two numbers indicate what week of the year it was made (out of 52 weeks per year), and the second two numbers represent the year. In general, replacing after 3-4 years max recommended on trailer tires, regardless of mileage.
