Any thoughts or recommendations for tire brands when replacing tires? I seen discussion on rv sites but wondered what my fellow Scamp owners think.

Thoughts on buyin tires for Scamp 16
PLeitle,
Don't think you are being ignored. There are so many brands to choose from and there is nobody that has tried them all to give you the answer your looking for. Every one can have a different opinion as to what they like. If there is a supplier that you trust for your car, talk to them about your trailer.

The one recommendation I have is to go up one load rating I.E: OEM = Load Range "C", replace with Load Range "D".
The extra weight carrying capacity of the higher Load Rating should give you an increased margin for safety.
Generally, it only adds a few bucks to the price for the upgrade.
If you are a member of Sams Club or Costco, they do carry trailer tires and can mount and balance them for you on your rims (they won't mount the tires on your Scamp, but they will mount the tires onto the rims).
You also have the option of ordering your new tires online, completely mounted with brand new rims, delivered right to your door.
I went with the Goodyear Marathon tires, so far they have been good tires.
As Always,
Happy Scamping !!!
