Had a blowout last night on my travel trailer and will be replacing all of them. These were Power Kings about 4 years old and had maybe 5000 miles on them. Had most of the tread still on them, stored at full pressure in an enclosed RV stall, out of the elements.

What's the recommendation for the best camper tires these days?


Current tires are 205/75R14
Single axle camper, 20' long.
Dry weight is 2770 lbs. Max loaded weight is rated at 3800 lbs.

There will always be plenty of opinions on this topic.

I just recently had a Goodyear Endurance blow out on our TT. They were 3 years old, probably 10k miles.

I replaced them with Heartlands from Discount. I run Heartlands on my utility trailers as well and have had good luck.

I have heard some people mention going with LT (light truck) tires on there TTs, but I didn't try that this go-round. But a set of BFGs on a camper would look sweet!

I've thought about LT tires.
Due to these being giant blocks on wheels, the concern I've read is that the sidewalls flex and would induce unnecessary sway in windy conditions. I'm not sure how real this concern is though for a smaller camper like this one.

I think that concern is valid. But just like you mention, your lighter camper would not have an issue IMO. I think some even come from the factory with LTs.

I know I've seen those lighter, more off-roady looking campers with GY Duratracs on them.

I have Goodyear endurance on my 3000# pop up. I got them because they are made in USA, 87mph speed rating, and load rating way above what I need. I've had them 4 years and maybe 10k miles with no issue. I'm going to change them next season with same Goodyear endurance. It came with chi-bombs and I never had an issue but I feel lot more comfortable cruising at 75mph on made in USA rubber.

I have 33" knobby off road tires on a smaller trailer and haven't noticed any issues other than more aggressive flat spots after sitting

Don't have a brand rec, but it seems most trailer tires have lower speed ratings than I like. Seems you really have to look to find decent ratings

I've been pleased with my Carlisle/CarlStar Radial Trail HD tires on my utility trailers. Pretty well reviewed on the RV forums as well. About half the cost of the Goodyears.
