I boat an 87 yar-craft last year, and the tires (sidewalls) looked pretty bad. They were Dico St sporttracks F78-14st, 50psi. Went to the tire shop and they guy told me they dont make them any more. He sold me Nanco st205/75d-14 tires, 35 psi. I know they are cheap tires, but i only put on 4 to 500 miles a year. Wondering if these tires are going work with trailor i have?

Re: Wondering if i bought the right tires?

check weight of your boat/motor/trailer against the weight bearing range on the tire sidewalls. If your "tire guy" put automobile tires on your trailer then you may need to go back and get "real trailer tires" which are designed for the heavier loads and therefore the higher tire pressures(50PSI).

If those are ST tires, which it looks like they are, then you have the correct tires. Check the max inflation again to make sure it isn't higher.
