19.5
If you dont have the bucks to buy new........ head to pull and save and get used....... I have two trucks that use 19.5. I love my wrecking yard.
these tires on trailers never wear out ......... if you keep the air up where it belongs.
good luck on hauling

I put 75k on the factory Goodyears. Replaced with same tire and got almost 70k out of those. 3rd set were Firestone Transforce A/T's.....almost 70k out of those. I no longer hotshot but my truck has 268k and I'm almost to my 5th set of tires. We routinely weighed 20-25k when loaded. I always ran them at 70psi and rotated them every 3500 miles (every weekend)!!!

Was wondering what tires the hot shot guys are running on their duallies with the stock 17" rims? I have the BFG ATs on mine now and they are wearing quick! I am pulling our trailer much more that I anticipated when I put these tires on there and need to find something that is going to last.
I know the 19.5s are the way to go but those are not in the budget right now. Hope to find something thats going to last longer than the 35k that I am going to get out of these. Thanks fellas!

I like my toyo 19.5's. All makes and models have a few things in common....
they all go round and round. Warranties are on the top of my list when buying new tires. I have bought a lot of tires, new and used over the years, can you tell im old? On my winniebago I put a new set of Michelin and with less then 3000 miles an inside dual sidewall blew out. Did i pick up a rock or was it low air pressure, I really dont know..... Did michelin stand behind there warranty? F'no. It seems I drove on the flat tire. I was on the freeway doing 70mph, how can you not drive on the tires. I was told that when the michelin district manager made his rounds, he would determine if they would replace the tire under warranty. Winters are long in Alaska and Im still waiting for my new tire.......... ohhhhh that was ten years ago now...Toyo has never let me down.....

We run Firestone Transforce ATs and HTs. also the HTs on trailers. No blowouts, wear good. Get lots of miles out of them.
They are usually a pretty goood price to. We pay $145 Mount and balanced.
