Headed to Discount Tire today to get new tires on the trailer. It was fitted with Maxxis ST205/75R-15 load range D tires. The old Towmax tires were made in China and trailer tires made in China are lovingly called "China Bombs" as they are just as likely blow out as they are to hold air. I went one winter with them but was not willing to chance a second winter.
The Towmax tires were load range C tires but I decided to step up to a D range on the Maxxis'. I really don't need to extra carrying capacity but since I was getting new tires I figured I'd spend the extra 10 bucks a tire to get what should be a more durable tire. On the short drive home the trailer felt more stable and it even appeared to have less bouncing.
