    I have Cooper HT-3 Discovery tires on my 35.5 Kaufman 2 Car Hauler. They were upgrade from the standard chineese tires on it. Had Cooper's on my trucks as well, now run Firestone Transforce which also makes trailer tires too.

    Those Transforse are very good however I believe the weight rating is to low for use on the trailer. I did not know Transforse had trailer tires.

    Whatever brand you use I would get 14ply not 10ply and make sure you have metal valve stems

    Firestone 819 is all I use for on and off road trailers. If trailers are strictly off road I'll use Goodyear 177

    I will check them out. I good friend of mine that has a Kaufman trailer said I should invest in new wheels for the trailer since the current ones tend to crack. So that's my next mission still deciding on allow or steel wheels
