Hello,
It is time for me to consider looking for new tires for my Conquerer Compact (1650lbs estimated)
The current tires are a SUV/Crossover road tire and are now at 10 years from date of manufacture. I do carry a spare but it is a different lug pattern than the tow vehicle. All three trailer tires are the same vintage. Current tire size is P245/75R16.
I have spent the last day searching the web off and on for recommendation but nothing was that helpful. I am thinking an AT tire would be best that has good self cleaning properties and tough side wall for protection from rocks. I live in the Midwest and plan to travel west with the trailer as well as use it here. I expect to be in sand, mud, rock ( smooth and sharp) and have some highway miles (MOAB is 1650 miles from here!)
I am leaning toward GY Silent Armor (OE on my Jeep), Duratracs or Bridgestone Dueler AT. I am open to others based on your recommendations.
Please share your thoughts and also any total failures for trailer tires.
Thanks in advance
