Which brand of wheel to buy is very much like which brand of tow vehicle is best.... So, look at the specs on the wheel, weight capacity, rim width, pressure rating and buy what works best for your application.

Keep in mind that as a general rule, steel wheels are stronger than aluminum wheels. Not all steel wheels are "white ugly things". There are some very attractive (whatever that means to you) that would look good on almost any travel trailer. And as a "bonus" steel wheels are typically 25-50% the price of aluminum wheels.

It pays to shop around, some online retailers offer discounted prices and free shipping, so the best deal may not be at your local tire shop..... and, your local tire shop probably can't beat WalMart's prices for the Carlisle Radial Trail HD tire. It's probably the best bang for your buck of any ST tire available today.
