Default Trucks, Trailers, Towing and Misc Accessories

I'm starting this thread in hopes it becomes on ongoing thread to encompass all things related to the trucks & trailers that our members own, drive, modify, maintain, and secure.

Thanks Sam, I really enjoyed spending time with you and everyone at VetteFest.................

My 1st Issue concerns WHEN and if to replace the GOOD (unknown low milage) appearing Goodyear Marathon tires (225x75xR15 ST) on my newly purchased 2003 Pace American 10,000 GVW trailer ???

My 2nd Issue is to what brand/model radial trailer tire you've had good, bad or indifferent experiences with.

Does the top money buy the best tire or not neccessarily????

Will you name the company, vendor or web site you bought from???

I'm considering Power King TOW-MASTER 225x75xR15's @ $85each

Also my trailer came with no spare. Where do you store or mount your spare ?? and do you use the same wheel for your spare as the other four????

Thanks for your responses.........

Stay away from Carlisle Tires. I've had good experiences with Transmaster load range E on my horse, car, and toy hauler trailers. Larry.

I mounted the spare on the front wall of the trailer. I built a small platform so I could run wires under the spare, for the winch and various other things.

I have had no problems with Goodyear Marathons. I had them on a 17' flatdeck from 2000 to 2004 and put 15,000 miles on that unit. Bought a 24' Wells Cargo in 04 and have logged nearly 15,000 since then.
Just bought a 28 foot Airstream that is 10 years old and it has Goodyears on it. Two need replacing, but they held up well.

On another note I just bought a Hensley Arrow hitch> anybody have any experience with one?

I do all my towing with an 03 GMC Yukon XL 2500 with Quadrasteer. Best damm towing vehicle I could want.

Paul
