Question:

Hello, Looking to replace tires on my shorelander single axle boat trailer. Original tires were Goodyear marathon st185/80r13s. Being a Toyota technician for 29 years I have not seen any Goodyear passenger tires that I was very pleased with, and after having one of the marathons blow out and rip the fender and bunk off of my trailer Im even less of a fan. Not worried about price , just want the best tire I can buy. Trailer makes fairly long trips on the highway from Indiana to the U.P. Of Michigan and to Canada. Thanks for your time,

The best option we have that will fit your wheel and work well is the Lionshead tire part # LHWL101. The quality and construction of this tire is unmatched but I really like about it is the fact it has a 75 mph speed rating which is higher than most trailer tires, has a 5 year warranty, and a 2 year roadside program.

If your RV or trailer has a flat tire, call the help line and a technician will come change the flat for you. You can call 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, and 365 days a year from anywhere in the United States, Canada, or Puerto Rico.

The very slight size difference with this tire will not be an issue at all either.
