Trailer Tires

Assuming duel axle trailer the best tire for BCB trailers is a passenger car tire.  BCB has used passenger tires decades.  Current trailers coming out of the factory have these  https://generaltire.com/tires/passenger/altimax-rt43?gclid=Cj0KCQjw8_qRBhCXARIsAE2AtRZdt7bvNoMlhA3KTnakwkaivWXTuOJlFAKP8JyRX0FqFdgoHWf07_MaAinJEALw_wcB

I put them on my 07 Classic before I sold it replacing the Cobras and was happy with them.  My 2020 Caracal has original tires which are the same.  Probably about any good quality radial car tire will work.  You may have to look around for a shop that will install them.  Some won’t put passenger tires on a trailer.  Have your weight info for boat/trailer handy to show you will be well under maximum weight per tire and you should have less trouble.  That’s what I had to do a couple years ago when I bought the above replacement tires at local non-chain store tire shop.

Good  luck,

What Brian aka shodackbassman said. Be sure and have them balance your tires too. A lot of tire shops try to get by without balancing trailer installed tires but it’s a critical component of a good install. Attention to detail item as in all Basscats.

I changed out my trailer tires on my 2017 Cougar AE (came with 10 ply trailer tires) to a passenger car tire.  I also went with a 70 series tire versus a 75 series tire.  Mine are also balanced.  I do believe in balancing all tires, as others have stated it never hurts.  I put General Altrex on my Cat and so far I do like them a bunch.  What I did was jacked up my trailer, put it on jack stands, took the wheels and tires off it, and brought them to where I was having the new tires mounted at.  I also rotate my tires at least 1 time per year and check all the wheel bearing seals for leaks as well as grease levels.  You never can be too careful.  A little extra time can save you from a break down on the side of the road.

What ever direction you decide to go, correct air pressure is critical for safety and tread life. I am retired from Bridgestone after 35 years and air pressure is the one item you can control. Example: mount four new tires on your trailer or truck. Drive with out air and yoo will ruin your new tires! Check Air Pressures!

Goodyear Endurance is a fantastic tire. Made domestically, overbuilt, and a speed rated tire that makes sense.  I’ll never tow at the speeds these are rated for vs. the typical 65mph ST rated tires. Always balance and keep up with the pressure.  The cost of balancing is cheap compared to cupped tires and vibration transmitted to the hubs & axle systems.
