Are Radial Tires Better for Jet Ski Trailer
Question:
I have a 1996 Shorelandr Jet Ski Trailer - It is due for new tires and wheels. Which set up do you recommend ? Radial Tires for road trips from 3 hours to 8 hours? Jet skis weigh up to 1100 lbs at times. Thx.

Radials are the way to go for trailer tires that will be on the highway for extended periods of time. They just do everything better. They have higher speed ratings, better sidewall flex, less heat build up etc.
I do not know what tire size you have now though so I can't recommend a specific wheel and tire.
I attached a link to a page that has all of the radial wheel and tire options we carry though.
