Re: [omc-boats] New tires for 16' trailers

Congrats on your new purchase. We own a '69 Sportsman on a Chrystler trailer and last year I put the Carlisle load range C on it and got all of 15 miles befor one blew out, the local tire dealer here realized the Sportsman is too heavy for that tire and upgraded me (no charge) to a Power King 20.5/8.00-10/8 Load range E 1500 # at 90psi.They work great. Not sure if that size is what you need but I bought them for $45 each at Pomps Tire here in Wausau WI. 715-355-7606
They have stores all over Wisconsin and you could buy what you need when you come to pick up your boat.
I do recomend you call one of them in advance to make sure they can have what you need in stock and can confirm they will work with your trailer.
Hope this helps.
regards
Keith Rudd
