Trailer Tires

Tire rack cheapest was $105. Walmart has Tornel for $76. Are Tornel any good?

I'll look at simple tire too
Simple sells Tornel, but I have never owned one. They are made in Mexico, owned by an India company apparently .. from Simple's website:

Tornel tires​

Based in Mexico and acquired by India-based JK Tyre group in 2008, Tornel is one of the biggest tire manufacturers in Latin America and specializes in period-correct tires for vintage cars that are built with modern technology. Tornel manufactures tires for passenger cars, SUVs, CUVs, light trucks, and golf carts.

Its products are of excellent quality and ensure driving safety along with top-notch performance. Tornel has its three facilities located in Mexico and the company premises act as a base for JK Tyre for its expansion in the North American region.

For that usage I'd definitely go with a bias ply tire. They tend to be cheaper, stronger, and it really won't matter how much out of round they are.

Goodyear Endurance load range D. Made in USA. After 2 blowouts on China bombs, this is all I run.

My trailers all get black round tires that hold air. Same for 2 of my vehicles. Thousands of miles combined each year..even on the trailers. Never a blow out. All Dryrot or get low on tread prior.

I buy tires off amazon or walmart.com

I have the same brand on my stuff. Been satisfied with them so far.

Many years ago there was a member here, Diamondpilot, that seemed to know what he was talking about and he highly recommended "Greenball" sold by Costco as the best bang for the buck.
I looked at costco and nothing was cheap, and the selection was very limited. I was kind of surprised.

"P" tires are passenger car tires, made for a soft ride. If you want durability and low cost, buy bias-ply "ST" trailer tires.
P215 was taken rt off the tires...Im glad you pointed out this fact - thanks
