    My son runs Continental extra loads on his trailers and he has had good luck with them.

    I run Continental HSRs on my trailer. Get very good wear out of them. Almost double what I got out of a set of XZEs. I have heard some bad things about the drives from my tire shop. They had a couple of sets that started getting small tears in the tread. Maybe they just got a bad run.
