Might be about as cheap to have your dealer order one from FW. It would at least save you the time of looking around for one, finding out the offset's wrong, etc., although I'm sure someone else has it.

Don't you think that a tire should last more than three years? Carlise (sp?) are crap, I've replaced too many over the years due to side wall "rot". Never seen that in much older and many more miles car tires of any brand. Have GoodYear on present trailer that are three years old with no signs of sidewall rot. The Goodyears and all my other tires got at least as much sun as the cheap Carlise tires ever did.

Radial Marathon, the side walls look new and little tread wear with 4 to 5000 miles.

larry, radial trailer tires will always last longer than biasply tires. When i replace my carlisles they will definately be getting radial replacements, and yes you are right they should last alot longer than 3 years

I'd be careful about judging the condition of trailer tires based on their outside appearance. Trailer tires - especially on multi-axle trailers - go through hell. If the boat is stored outside that just makes it worse on them. I have GY Marathon Radials on mine, it's stored indoors, and I still don't expect to get more than about 5 years out of them (although I'm sure they'll still *look* fine then).

I agree, I generally figure i should change my tires about as much as the battery in my boat, but then again i only have two tires to replace so 40 bucks for some biasply tires doesnt break the bank. LOL. Hey did anyone notice below my name..... I'm a stingray now :)
