Type Tires

About to replace the tires on my towmaster dump trailer the tires that were on the trailer when I bought it are LT 235-85-16 10 ply... Should I replace with the same or, go with a trailer tire instead of the LT tire ??

I was told by my local tire dealer several years ago that all the molds for trailer tires had been shipped overseas to be used there. He is a small town type who has been doing it for 40 plus years. I found it hard to believe but upon checking with a few other places it seemed to be correct. I have been using the Lt E range tires on several of my trailers both with and without brakes. D range trailer tires always ran over 150.00 apiece. Someone will know for sure on here.

A lot of tires are made overseas . Passenger car , trailer, truck tires, atv, etc, My truck tires are toyo,s. Like anything else, Now days,,, It's difficult to find things made in the US
