Why would you want an upgraded Nitro? All Johnny Morris boats I've seen have been terrible. Ranger and Triton were good boats before bass pro ruined them. Bass cat is a hand laid high quality boat so it's going to be a little more expensive. In east Texas the Pantara Classic loaded out should be around 70k

@@rainysunday6186I like them. Too slow, and I don’t like the fuel tank beneath the floor. This boat here I can easily inspect the fuel tank and look at it. I can get this one bare bones for about the same price as other brand 18 footers. At 19’6, this boat here is a stud in rough water compared to sub 19 footers.

Rick, first off, may I point out that a low sidewall tire is more abusive on a trailer through feedback. Sidewall thickness isn't a concern, as stated. Always run radial, and you can go up in ply now rated by an alphabetical letter. Once my poem tires need replaced on my Ranger 520R I will go to a 10 ply or 3/4 ton pickup truck tire that is made for rain and you can run the air pressure a little lower to get a good ride and traction.
@billy-bo-dilly10 ай бұрын
Great video. After two blow outs with ST tires, I have run nothing but P rated tires for the last 30 years. ST stands for Shitty Tire. Glad that you mentioned that the P tires are legal to run on your trailer, but ST tires can not run on your passenger car. I don't know why so many people think ST tires are the best for trailer applications. They are not. They are the cheapest junky tire you can buy.

@jasonmausteller248810 ай бұрын
When do you offer standard trailer tires? Single axle models?
@yuh8me10 ай бұрын
the reason trailer tires are stamped for trailer use only is they don't have to meat the requirements for roundness that a passenger tire does, that's why in the tire industry we don't balance trailer tires. second reason for a trailer tire is you get at least one more ply in the sidewall because i don't care how long you've towed you will always drag over a curb a few times and the way a car suspension and trailer suspension works is totally different, car suspension is meant to absorb impacts and glide over impacts whereas trailer is constantly driving that tire straight down into the ground. if you run passenger tires just get ready for sidewall separations period, i've been in the tire business for as long as you've been in the boat business so i don't need any hate run what you want just giving you the facts.
@blakefoster632410 ай бұрын
But this isnt something they started today. There are millions of miles of proof that there will not be sidewall separation. Also the tread last great too. Typically folks that are smart are replacing these tires based on age, not wear or sidewall seperation.
@rex28379 ай бұрын
I think Rick might say, who cares about how many plys when the thickness is still the same. Which is why he broke out the calipers and measured the three sidewalls and they were the same. I’m not disputing you I’m trying to get more clarity. Basscat was a trailer company first before boats. My question is, if all three have the same thickness in sidewall, then does ply matter, or belts etc? I’ve had issues with marathon tires on my Ranger, those tires have been replaced by a higher sidewall rating and it was the solution needed.
@yuh8me9 ай бұрын
look the shorter you make that sidewall the more likely you are to have a sidewall separate and that's a fact if you're to stubborn to admit that then your an idiot and I don't have time for idiot's. when you drag that 18 inch tire over the curb am MCD's in the morning getting you biscuit you will get a knot on the side of that tire period. see it everyday 6 days a week for 40 years. you don't know what I know.
@ceciljohnson599710 ай бұрын
Maybe these wide tires will fit under your trailers with custom wide fenders, but most boat trailers don't have the clearance for those wider automotive tires. Your automotive tires won't fit on normal width trailer wheels either. Those wide tires put more stress on the trailer axles on tight turns. But I do appreciate your decision of usage on your trailers.

Appreciate the video Rick. Just wish I watched it before I just purchased new tires for my boat this year! I imagine P rated tires are going to last a heck of a lot longer too. I bought goodyear endurance trailer tires, which are nice enough, but after 3 years and quite a few miles they were already getting pretty thin. I'd imagine a P rated would not be showing much wear at all.
