The Goodyear Endurance ST235/85R16 holds a market-leader position for heavy load trailer tires thanks to a trailer-optimized casing, reinforced steel-belt construction and industry-leading heat management that deliver longer tread life under heavy tow loads. Although typically priced above the alternatives in this list, its higher initial cost is offset by superior durability, warranty coverage and lower lifecycle cost compared with value-oriented options like Westlake and Taskmaster. For buyers prioritizing maximum seasonal mileage and reduced downtime, the Endurance outperforms Maxxis and Carlisle on longevity and high-speed heat resistance.

Martin Wheel 15x6 6-Lug Heavy Duty Steel Wheel
Martin Wheel's 15x6 6-lug heavy duty wheel is the choice for mid-size horse trailers that require robust, OEM-grade steel wheels with higher load ratings and industrial-strength construction. While pricier than 5-lug Americana and some budget 8-lug imports, Martin Wheel provides superior longevity, tighter manufacturing tolerances for better hub/bearing alignment, and a stronger remanufacturing pedigree that reduces life-cycle costs for heavy-use trailers. It is particularly well suited where a 6-lug axle specification is standard and operators prefer long-term reliability over the lowest upfront cost.

Gorilla Automotive's 21134SD duplex acorn lug nuts are built with a closed-end acorn profile and duplex-style corrosion resistance that balances durability and cost, making them a strong mid-tier choice for horse trailer use. They provide better water-shedding and thread protection than basic zinc-plated options, while typically costing less up-front than premium marine-grade stainless offerings like DPAccessories. For owners who want reliable corrosion performance without paying top-tier prices, these nuts are a practical compromise between Wheel Mate economy and McGard/DPA premium finishes.

Schrader EZ-Sensor 2.0 is the market leader for OE-level reliability and wide dealer acceptance, offering robust programmability and fitment that mirrors factory sensors — a strong choice when OEM compliance and warranty-grade performance matter. Technically it often costs more than universal aftermarket alternatives listed here, but that higher upfront price is offset for fleets and repair shops by fewer re-learns, higher first-time-fit rates, and simplified service on late-model vehicles.
