Yes, 8 ply 15 inch. Brandee new with the stickers still on them. When I got the trailer, it had regular 15" passenger car tires. Those were the first thing to go. Im guessing I have around a ton on it now. Ill keep you guys posted!

You get that tires balanced also ? I not I would ASAP, I install a lot of tires and notice that balanced tires wear better and longer. Every tire I have, spares included, is balanced for that very reason
