Does any have any suggestions on tires for my TT?

What is a TT? Tent trailer? Travel trailer? Tittie?

What do you plan to do with the trailer, what kind of terrain?

How important is highway mileage vs traction/ appearance?

What size do you need? Load rating?

I like the BFG ATs for sand and gravel, but they rob you of mpg compared to a ribbed trailer tire.

Its a 30ft toy hauler. It came with D rating carlisles that blow out every trip. So I was just poking around to see if anyone has had any experience with different tires.

All I can tell you is that I've seen a lot of negative post regarding "Marathons"
