Does anyone have a recommendation on what size tires or brand of tires I need for a 13 foot Scamp? Would Discount Tire carry the tires or would you recommend Camping World? Thanks

Tire question
I recommend ordering tires from Amazon. I have ordered trailer tires from them twice. The price was great, delivery was quick (2-3 days), and the tires were recently made (code on the tires indicated they were 2 months old). I contacted all the name-brand stores in my city and found that choices were limited, some prices were outrageous, and many did not have the tires on-hand. I ordered Carlisle tires, which are reputable. I ordered ST175/80R13, D load tires. I ordered D load because I have a Deluxe 16-ft Scamp, which is heavier than Standard Scamps, and I travel on Interstates back to Minnesota. A C load tire should be fine for a 13-ft Scamp. Radial tires give a softer ride and supposedly better gas mileage and longevity.
There is no real penalty for buying the "D" rating and radial and gives a degree of increase toughness. well worth the little extra cost. Be sure to have them balanced too. Much easier on everything in the trailer reduced vibration.
