I’ve inherited a 28ft aluminum tandem axle dump trailer, it has been sitting for a few years. It needs new tires. It has 11r24.5 tires on it currently. my mechanic recommended cheap tires since they never last.
I found some speedmax ss622 steer all pos 16ply tires.
I am wondering if 16ply will work? Or I need something different? Any other brands to look at?
the set of 8 is just over 2k plus mounting etc.

Cheap tires don’t last…
We have been having good luck with kumhos on trailers, 1 low bed and 1
Dump legal for 99k is running them on 11r24.5Diesel Dave Thanks this. -

16 ply is what you need… maybe not that brand tho
Diesel Dave Thanks this. -

My old man ran China tires on his logging trailers. Why pay premium dollar for tires that are going to get cut & gouged up long before they're worn out?

Last Call, kwswan and Diesel Dave Thank this. -
Most quarries I’ve been to are pretty well maintained, you can either back around or kick any large debris out of the way, landfills are a bit harder and usually destroy a tire before it wears out, I’d be more worried about tight turns and any highway travel you do have while in transit then on site, but try the $2k set, cheap enough and worst case you go with something else on the next set if they only last 20k miles or start blowing out going down the road

Kumho, sumitomo, Hercules (which are either Firestone or coopers can’t remember), double coin, you have a few cheaper side of mid grade tires as well,last set of kumhos were $3100 for 8 and I swapped the casings for mounting
Edit: $3100 was low 22s for my fridge, want to say the tall 24s for the bucket were 35 or 3600 IIRC
