We all know some brands of tires are reputed to be better than others for car tires. How about trailer tires?
I have a Tractor Supply utility trailer, capacity around 1500 lbs, w/ ST175/80 13 tires by Carrier Star (brand) that need to be replaced. Any recommendations on brands or where I should look for a decent brand tire? I don't use the trailer much at all, but I do use it to carry my VStrom on occasion or garden tractor. I'd expect the tires to die of age before I wear them out from miles used.
Does covering the tires when the tractor is stored outdoors lengthen their life? I have a friend who religiously covers his after he arrives at a campground.
