Shopping for tires

[wavery]

We want to replace our tires before our next trip. I've found that shopping for trailer tires in Los Angeles is a PITA!!!

I have "Tow Master" radial tires on the trailer now and they are (dare I say) 9 years old :yikes: . They show no signs of wear or cracking (which is a miracle). I would like to buy "Duros" though.

Anyone have any suggestions??

I've found several places online that sell them but I'd rather buy them from the same place that I have install them (even if I have to pay more) so I don't have a pi$$ing contest, in the event of a failure .

Jeanne and Jim did point me to a dealer who will order them on your behalf and install them.

I discovered that Duro Tires are sold by JC Whitney and started to do a phone dance to get from cryptic catalog number (ZX489244R) to Duro part number. I've got a bit of rim damage so I was opting to get the whole wheel and I can handle putting a wheel on... I've dropped the ball and haven't called them back.
The tire only is cat #(ZX475980T) and I'm 90% sure this is Duro since nobody else does load range D in this size.
