We have used automotive tires for over 25 years. We do and have offered trailer tires, and the tag was made for trailer tires.

Dealer recommended Goodyear Marathons for my 95 tandem axel last year. Price for four was $325 mounted from “Big O”. LOZman

Maxxis trailer tires are also top notch………. My first BC was a new 89 Sabre…”Turbo Plus” tires were on it. Went to Goodyear Eagles after that for my second set. Firestones on my new 97 Pantera II. Bought a used 96 Eyra that had the Maxxis tires place the year before I bought it (2007). Look and work very well.96 Eyra/12 Mercury 175 Pro XS with 2015 single axle trailer2017 Victory Gunner

DO YOU DISLIKE THE GOODYEAR??///IF YOU CAN FIND…. II WOULD SUGGEST GOODYEAR, BF GOODRICH, FIRESTONE, BRIDGESTONE,OR KELLY WHICH IS MADE IN THE GOODYEAR PLANT.MOST PICKUPS COME WITH GOODYEAR OR BRIDGESTONE,SO THEY SHOULD BE OK FOR ABOAT TRAILER I WOULD THINK…..I HAVE ALWAYS PREFERRED A NAME BRAND TIRE…I JUST THINK THEY LOOK MUCH BETTER THAN SAY A OFFBRAND…PROBABLY NOT ALOT OF DIFFERENCE THO..

Guys sure this has been covered but have a question. My Eyra came with Watercraft Avenger G/T tires. I believe these are technically a light passenger tire. I recently got a quote for new tires and they recommended a true trailer rated tire. Which should I be using? Any help is greatly appreciated and any recommendations on tires. Thanks

They were a standard equipment tire whereas the upgrade was probably Firestone Indy 500s back then.

Unless you goto light truck tires(dont) just about everything is truly 4 plies with different load ratings. Certainly more sidewall support in trailer Tires but advantages to offset cost do not appear to be present I believe in bcb eyes. There are “ply ratings” floating around but its still 4 plies just different load ratings. My coopers in 3 years went have been from pick wick to Oroville in Cali, to Mead, and across the Mohave twice. No issues. Still havent used the spare.Last edited by clownshoes on August 1st, 2012, 2:43 am, edited 1 time in total.C.O.D. Jr. III

I had a blow out on one of my cooper tires about 2.5 hrs after I purchased my new to me Puma 11 days ago. Fortunately the local cooper dealer had 4 of the cobras in stock and they prorated the new tire which saved me some $ over retail. Well see how the others hold up. BCB is no longer using the Cooper Cobra Radial GT due to availability issues. I believe they are using Master Craft Avengers GT which is made by cooper. Any tire should work, but I would stick w/ what BCB recommends. They may be changing tires again for the 2013 model year; well see.

Actually the tires changed last year to another Cooper private label and that isthe Mastercraft Avenger, these are same exact tire construction as the Cooper Cobra.

Ive stuck my foot in this pickle jar before , and will refrain from technicalities about tires , but I will say , no matter what tires you run , be sure to run them at the maximum recommended cold pressure . — They will run cooler and last longer when properly inflated , as well as roll easier , which means better economy . — Mark
