\They include balancing at no cost. I was skeptical so I emailed their customer service before I hit the order button. They assured me they will show up ready to go.
Tire Rack is legit. They will show up ready to bolt on, no worries.

That’s good to know. I may use them a lot more in the future. I ordered tires for my utility trailer from them at the same time.
Yes I got my rims and tires from TR for my clown car. I've bought alot from them. I got tpms sensors pre-installed but because they were not oem Lexus couldn't get them to program. I'm to lazy to go to the aftermarket shop on state and main to see if they can program them. Then when I put the summer tires on I have to reprogram again and so on. It's a pain. For some reason Toyota has to be different.

Look away Thunder Five Five Oh...Look away.
Ok it's time for new tires on the trailer. They were brand new in 2017 just before I bought the boat, but they have 5 trips to Bull Shoals and/or Table Rock plus numerous (20 or more) trips to our local lakes. I knew it would be close, but I put another TRL trip on them at the end of last year. We had a BLOWOUT. We made the rest of the trip on the spare, but it is time to upgrade.
I already know I want to get Goodyear Endurance tires for the boat. I'm getting 5 of them suckers. The trailer I have is actually a pretty good one, but it came with 14" tires. The ones that are on there are C rated, and they squat REALLY bad. Is there ANY reason anyone can think of why I can't upgrade to 15" wheels and then go with D rated tires? I have upgraded to D's on my utility trailer and it made it tow a ton better. It would seem to me that a taller tire with less RPM's is going to stay cooler. I have plenty of room in the wheel wells to add another inch.
So second part of the topic: What 15" wheels should I get? It's just a fairly plain Jane aluminum trailer, but I'd like to spice her up a tad and not blow the budget at the same time.
Well the new wheels and tires showed up today. Luckily the UPS guy is my fiance's cousin so he put them in the garage for me. I asked him to send me a picture because I'm anxious to see what the wheels look like, but this was the best I could get for now. Hopefully I can get them installed in the next few days if the weather will cooperate.

Those are sweet! I'll be getting new tires for our LOTO trip this year, was considering some new wheels too.
Look at the combo deals on Tire Rack. I'm sure you could get each (tire and wheel) a little cheaper somewhere else, but to have them show up mounted, balanced, and with the center cap for free...with free shipping...sign me up. And going from C rated 14" tires to E rated 15" will hopefully mean good things in the future.
