Recommendations for camper tires?
Looking to replace the tires on our high wall pop up camper. This is the first time I've had to buy trailer tires, so I'm green. Did some research online, but got confused more than anything.

Anyway, the size is 205/75/14. It has a GVWR of 3,743 lbs. I'd actually like to put LT tires on it, as I've heard they're better for extended highway and heat use. But, do they even make LT tires that small?

Anyway, any suggestions would be great. Thanks!

Grant

I would use one the only two trailer tires that Tire Rack recommends.

Thanks. I'll probably go with Goodyear Marathons, but just wanted to check for other opinions.

The Marathons are good trailer tires-used to sell a ton of them when I worked for Camping World. Carlisle is another good trailer tire brand if you can get them. Just be sure whatever you get is a tire made for trailers.

I took the chinese made GY marathons off of my new Casita camper. From what i've read the older marathons were USA made and had no issues. I've read a lot online of the chinese made marathons coming apart. I read good reviews about Maxxis M8008 so i ordered 2 of them from Etrailer. I also upgraded from the D load to the E load, only a couple bucks more per tire. My casita tracks better now and feels more stable.
