Tire Recommendation for 1978 Prowler Travel Trailer
Question:
what is the right tire for this type of trailor
asked by: John
Expert Reply:
If your current tires are the same size as the tires you referenced, ST205/75-15, I would recommend a radial tire like part # AM10244.
Radial ply tires typically run cooler than bias ply, which is why I recommend them if they are available in your size. You will also need to choose tires that are of the appropriate load rating, because choosing tires that are rated too low for the weight of the travel trailer will cause excess heat build-up in the tires and could lead to premature wear or failure.
If your Prowler uses a different size, If you can provide size of the current tires, and the diameter and width of your current wheels, I would be happy to recommend some tires for you.
I will link you to a tire FAQ article that you might find helpful.
