Anyone know a place that sells a variety of them? I need to buy tires and I am thinking of upgrading the rims also, they are 13's.

Discount tire is where I get mine. If you get rims too go with a size that is more common where the tires will be cheaper. I use radials. They rotate and balance anytime I want. For small boats Bias plys do not make sense especially on a tandem axle trailer. Rims and tires was the first stop when I bought my boat. Had to match the truck. I'm sick, I need help.

Thanks, I will check them out.
I dont know if you are sick, or just have butt loads of money you need to spend.

As far as the tires go, stick with Goodyear Marathons. They may cost a little more that lower end tires, but the peace of mind should make up for it.

Thanks for the advice, I will look in to those and see what sizes they offer.

Make sure you take note if you are upsizing, that the new ones fit in the fenders. Consider the bigger diameter and offset with diffrent wheels..
