Default Trailer Tires of Quality

The last time out with my little Stinger trailer, I shredded one of the tires which could not take the sustained high speed. Thank goodness I had a spare. I am looking for a pair of good quality, 8" trailer tires. Any suggestions? Thanks

I`m not sure what a Stinger trailer is?Behind the bike or bike on it.If it`s bike on it,a good trailer(IMO) wouldn`t have 8 in. wheels.Wouldn`t put my bike on something like that in the first place.Just by the highest speed and load ratied tire you can find and do as you will.Toby

I thought the 8" variety was rated 45mph or lower only. Could be wrong. Mine are 12".

That is an 8" rim size, 18" diameter tire, sorry to mislead. The Stinger is an awesome folding trailer, very good quality. I have had mine 3 years and have about 8,000 miles on it. Specs here: http://www.stingertrailer.com/html/specifications.html You will notice the 8" tires are 70MPH rated and I run routinely at 80MPH without a hitch until one tire started coming apart. Just thought someone might have a lead on a really good trailer tire. Thanks

Exactly. You can get 8" high speed trailer tires at good prices from them.
