Where do you guys go? Smithville marine doesn't do tires. Stopped by Croft this morning, they didn't make me feel to good. First tires they offered were C rated. I even had the boat/trailer up there. C rated tires aren't gonna work on a single axle trailer. Any other recommendations? I've thought about buying some on tire rack but I like the idea of having a place to go if something goes wrong with them vs an online retailer.
I got my last set at NTB. They were in stock and fast.
Place in Liberty by Sutherlands killed everyone else price but can't remember the name. Just east of there??? If I find it I'll let ya know.
Put your boat in the water and don't take it out !!!!!!
Try Discount tire in Liberty I've never dealt with them but some of the guys at work have, but worth a call
Thanks guys, I'll give NTB and discount tire a call.
Bill- is it Gene's tires?
Jigfisher- are they Commodore? that's only brand i see on their website. Never heard of that brand.
Yep! They were awesome and a buddy also purchased tires for his cobalt and was happy also.
I think that's right. I remember they just had the one line to choose from. I didn't do much shopping because I just wanted to get back in the water at the time. I get kind of tunnel visioned when I have time off and the bite is on.
The best trailer tires you can buy, in my opinion only, are Towmaster tires. They are available at Tire Center in KCK phone #913-321-2233
Our Company, Carlisle, has RH Radial Trail tires in the higher load ratings.

Thank you everyone for the help and suggestions. Stopped by Discount Tire on Vivian during my lunch break. They were so knowledgeable it was a fresh change of pace. They had all the tires in stock even a spare 5 lug rim for a spare since I've never had one nonono. We weren't sure what would fit 205/215 so they said they would try both and see how it looked with clearance. It was kinda slow at work so i took a little longer lunch, went and go the boat and dropped it off. It was ready in 40 min and I picked it up after work. They were awesome to deal with and I couldn't be happier buying tires! lol
Kit- i ended up with Carlisle 215/75R14's. Only pulled it 15 min back to storage but I could tell the difference immediately. No more side to side sway and it was much smoother. Actually looking forward to hauling it around now that I'm not worrying about a blowout leaving me on the side of the road!
Sounds like a great place to do business with. Glad they got you fixed up with a spare also. Check and make sure your jack will lift the trailer up enough to get a tire back on after a flat. Been there and done that. Glad to have some good friends that were able to bring me a floor jack the first time. The last time I was about 3 miles out of Clinton and had to leave the boat and fly to Wally World because it was closest place to get a jack. I now have a small floor jack in the truck at all times. Only took me 2 times to learn my lesson :bash.
I just had all four tires replaced on my wife's car a week or so ago. Went into the new Discount Tire in Liberty. Just popped in on a Saturday afternoon. Guy comes out and meets me in the parking lot. Fast, friendly, professional, and reasonable prices. Did I mention FAST? It was great. I'll likely be going back there again and again. I just didn't know how they were with trailer tires, so I didn't weigh in on that one. Glad you got it squared away, Justin. One less thing to worry about. 'Specially with that spare ya got now! :ThumbsUp
never thought about the jack! My truck is taller than the boat trailer though so i "should" be okay. I'm def gonna try it out before i need to though! thanks for the suggestion! better check lug nut wrench too!
