Last year I sold my old 8x8 2 place trailer and bought a 8x16 4 place. I am cheep and it was a rebuild project. (so was 8x
I got it rebuilt last years and stored sleds on it this summer. Tires are cracked in the side walls and want to replace the tires and wheels. My Farm and Fleet sells Carlyle 18.5 x 8.5-8 LRC rated at 935 each. I see some on line with Kenda tires, same size with galvanized wheels rated at 900 per tire. Free shipping on Kenda's and with tax on F/F the prices are about 20 difference so that dont matter much. So with all that out of the way does anyone have hands on experense with both of thes tires and how do they compare. Usually I only tow the sled up north about 420 miles once a year. Will use the trailer for atvs next summer and will probably tow them 1200 miles if it makes a difference. I only own two sleds but may tow 2 others. 3 are older 2 strokes and one is 05 Vector. Thanks

Do you have room for the 20.5" size? If so, I would opt for these. Remember to repack/rebuild your bearings. Looks like you have a great start on your trailer. Good luck Al
