Just snagged a pre-owned 2020 Load Rite trailer, but the tires are a bit tired. I usually just haul my 2020 Bennington 22 SSRX tritoon with a 150 Yamaha to the nearby ramp.

I'm planning a longer trip to the Gulf Coast, and I'm thinking of switching to tougher bias-ply tires, but I'd like some advice on the best tires for salt water and long trips. What do you recommend?
 
You can go with radial ST tires and Carlisle Radial Trail HDs hold up great and ride smoother than bias-ply but don't forget galvanized wheels if you're beach-bound
 
What kind of load rating are you aiming for, and how many miles do you expect to tow on this Gulf trip? That'll help figure out whether bias-ply or radials make more sense for you
