Published 11/20/2019 >
Question:
I have 2 new tires on one axle of my tandem boat trailer...need 2 new ones on the other axle. Can I use different brand but same size/ type/ load range/ pressure? Only difference would be the brand. Thanks

Yes, you can use a different brand of trailer tire as long as everything you mentioned matches. Size (this is the most important to match obviously), construction (bias vs radial), Load Range, and tire pressure.
You didn't mention what tire size you have but I attached a link to a page that has all of the trailer tires we offer. You can select the size you need from the filters and then from there the other options to see what would fit and work well.
