Looking to replace our bias ply tires with radials. What is a good radial tire? On our old boat trailer we used to have Hercules and love them but I can no longer get them. I'm also assuming I need load C or D class

I swapped the stock bias ply to Goodyear Endurance radials this spring, the change in ride while towing is amazing. The trailer doesn't bounce around near as much.

Same here, I bought the Goodyear Marathon (replaced by Goodyear Endurance) a year ago and notice how much better they rode. Watch the warehouse clubs for their sales. I think Sam's has one going on now, and you can order Endurance in your size for a great price.

Not to hijack this thread, but are those the Harbor Freight car dollies in your photo? Do you use those to move your boat? I was thinking their capacity was a little low. I use them to move my Wildcat SXS all the time in the garage. I thought maybe 4 of them could move my boat when needed.

I will second these words exactly. I trailer ours wherever we boat so it was a must for me. So annoying having the boat bouncing around. Really smoothed pi the ride.

Yeah those are the Pittsburgh branded ones. I've used them for a year with my '18 AR195 and they haven't failed yet, but I'm sure I'm pushing the limits. A friend bought some for his '08 19' regal, which is heavier, and one broke after a few uses.

2018 AR195 with Shorelander trailer. I think the 190s have 13" and the 192/195 have 14" for the brakes.

I need to pick up a spare tire and wheel for my trailer. Anyone know the best place to look? Not sure on the stud spacing exactly. I believe it's an MFI trailer that came with the 2006 SX230 HO. I know the other tires likely need replacing soon, but just looking to get a cheap spare tire and wheel combo for the time being as a safety measure.
