[RC] Trailer tires - Kearby Kate G Civ 748 CBSG/OM

10 ply TRAILER tires are the only safe way to go.  Trailer tires take more drag and 'tourqe' than drive tires, even our flat bed that only hauls hay and stuff only has 10 ply trailer tires, our pickups that haul the trailers also have 10 ply.  Fewer flats, can hold more air for a smoother safer pull, with better fuel mileage,  rarely come apart like you see happen with so many tires on trailers.....  we lent our back up stock trailer to a guy to move furniture, his hitch tilted the trailer weird, brakes weren't adjusted right and it blew tires, he replaced them with wal mart car tires and that was over a year ago...  we haven't put a horse in it since.  It's not just your horse's well being to go with good tires, it's everyone in your vehicle and everyone on the road with you.  Not to mention longer wear and less headaches by making the Good investment up front.  I think I heard that some state required 10 ply tires on RVs and trailers?  Also take your trailer to someone that knows how to align them.
