I have a heavy duty full-size car trailer in desperate need of tires. Two of the sidewalls split. They look like cheap tires, but I am going to haul up to 10k in weight. Can anybody suggest good car trailer tires and or where to purchase them?
 
What size?

Not sure if you were asking tire size or trailer size so I will give you both

the part you can't see is 15
 
For that size of tire, I'd suggest the Goodyear Endurance Load Range E Tire. US made and very popular on RV websites. Make sure your wheels can handle 80 psi, which is what the tires are rated for at max inflation.

Thank you!
 
Follow up update. I did buy 5 Goodyear Endurance as you suggested. They sure didn't give them away, but I have a ton more confidence in them than I did with the old ones.

They didn't have the 5th one in stock so they are going to mount and balance it up next week. Thanks again for the advice.
 
Good decision, and nice trailer. Keeping them covered when the trailer is not being used to keep the sun off them also helps with their longevity.

Yep, here in az we have to keep our tires covered, a good summer can eat away a good set. If I have to park my trucks outside I throw towels over the tires and around the windshield wipers in the summer.

Last summer I didn't do that and we had a rain and the first time it hit the wipers the blades ripped off the wipers and were stuck to the windshield. It was a mess. It gets super hot here in the summer.
