Barkley BLT60

Barkley’s trailer tire, in one build we can stand behind: 295/75R22.5, 16 ply, Load Range H, 146/143 M. It is a ribbed free-rolling pattern with a continuous shoulder, which Barkley credits with wear balance and rolling efficiency — the continuous shoulder is the standard answer to the sideways scrub a trailer axle takes every time the box is jockeyed into a dock.

Tread depth is 15/32 inch, and that number puts it in an interesting spot. The fuel-focused trailer tires on this store run 11/32 to 13/32 — Michelin X Line Energy T2, Bridgestone R123 Ecopia, Firestone FT492 and Amulet AT159 at 11/32, Yokohama BluEarth 109L at 12/32, Double Coin FT115 at 13/32. The deep ones run 18/32 to 20/32 — Goodyear Endurance RST at 18/32, our own Invovic FM591 at 19/32 to 20/32. The BLT60 sits between them: more rubber to give up in the yard than a fuel tire, without the rolling-resistance penalty of a full deep-tread trailer casing. Speed symbol is M, 81 mph.

One size is a real limitation and we would rather say it than bury it. Barkley lists a radial trailer tire in 11R22.5, 11R24.5 and 285/75R24.5 as well, but not under a build we can confirm as the BLT60, and Barkley’s own website is not serving product pages at the time of writing. Rather than publish a size table we cannot stand behind, this page carries the one build that multiple independent US listings agree on. If you run one of the other three sizes, tell us — we will chase the build with the supplier for your order, or quote you a trailer tire from another brand on the same sheet.

What this page cannot tell you either: Barkley publishes no tire weight, so the size table below has no weight column and the figure on your freight quote is our estimate, and no dimensional data is published, so there is no dimensions table here. There is no EPA SmartWay verification for the brand and no published severe-snow marking. No US warranty document, casing-credit program or named retread pattern is published, so plan on one life for the casing until your retreader tells you otherwise. Trailer axles only — do not let a shop put it up front.

The trailer tires on this store with the fuel-economy paperwork are the Michelin X Line Energy T2, Bridgestone R123 Ecopia, Firestone FT492, Yokohama BluEarth 109L and Double Coin FT115, all EPA SmartWay verified. For removal miles instead, the deep ones are the Goodyear Endurance RST and our Invovic FM591. Put the BLT60 next to whichever of those fits the trailer and compare the two all-in delivered numbers when they come back — tires, delivery, tax and the state tire fee in one figure each.
