FREE COUNTRY 2 Trailer Tires ST175/80D13 Set of 2 - Deep Tread Value

In this review the Free Country 2 trailer tires ST175/80D13 are evaluated for everyday trailer use and budget-conscious buyers. The bottom line: this set of two bias trailer tires is for owners who need a reliable, economical replacement that looks and performs like factory equipment. The reviewer found them well suited for standard towing loads, with a clear advantage in traction and appearance, while noting that bead seating can be tricky for some installers and long-term durability has mixed feedback.

Key Features

• Set of 2 New Tires: Buying two tires together simplifies replacement and ensures matched tread and handling for tandem use.
• Bias Construction: The ST175/80D13 bias design provides predictable trailer handling and a robust sidewall for trailer-specific loads.
• 6 ply rated, Load Range C: Rated for trailer service, these tires support typical small to medium trailer loads with a clear load capacity.
• Designed for trailer use only: Focused construction and tread pattern are optimized for towing, not passenger car use, for consistent traction under load.
• One Year Limited Warranty: A distributor-backed limited warranty offers basic protection for early defects or issues after purchase.
• Deep Tread Appearance: The tread and sidewall styling closely match factory tires, which helps maintain a stock look on trailers.

Who It's For

These tires are aimed at trailer owners who need economical, new replacements that match factory sizing and appearance. They are a good fit for utility trailers, small boat trailers and light cargo trailers where a higher ply, trailer-specific tire is preferred over automotive tires.

Shoppers who need maximum mileage longevity under severe heavy-duty use or those requiring higher load ratings should consider heavier load range options. Also, do-it-yourself installers should be prepared for occasional bead seating difficulty and may prefer professional mounting for an easier fit.

Pros & Cons
