Hi David,

Yes, most tire places carry them.  I know Walmart won't mount them on 
trailers though.

I would stick to a national tire place, like Tire Discounters. (Are they 
national? I see a lot of them).

The thing is you want trailer tires.  The other thing is you want to see the 
date that's stamped on the tires. What you don't want is tires that have been 
on the shelf for a long period of time. Age is an enemy of tires.  If they've 
been on the shelf for a year they aren't *new*.
