How long do your boat trailer tires last?

I've been running through a bit of bad luck with trailer tires here lately and was wondering how long you guys tires normally last.

Are your trailer tires exposed to the sun while parked?
Just like RV tires, the sun kills them long before the tread wears out.

age gets them before tread wear 95% of the time, 5 years is about as long as I'll keep them. Under inflation or overloading the rating can wipe them out in months if not days

my travel trailer tires, i'm lucky if i get 5ish years out of them. Boat tires may do ok a bit longer but travel trailers carry more weight i would imagine and greater chance of blowouts and cause greater damage when a blowout occurs.

how heavy is your boat and what is the tire rating?

Pro tip- If you can find bias ply nylon trailer tires they will last much longer than radials (on a trailer). The only thing is for the first 10 miles or so they will go thump until the flat spot is out.

the ones that come on new trailers are often the budget discount 2 ply tires and they only last a year or two at the most. if i had to guess mine lasted around 5k miles and they were bald.
make sure when you buy new ones you buy the 4 ply and try to get the 6 ply if you can. the more ply is has the longer they will last you

Mine are currently a little over two years old and still in great shape. My trailer stays on concrete under my carport.

Get some of these to put on the tires when parked
