Re: trailer tires and rims

[vintin]

I’ve seen dual axles on turns. I’ve got a 12,000lbs dump trailer and a flat bed for moving equipment rated the same. They both have 16 inch tires/duel axles. They are a lot different then the boat trailers most on this forum use.

I usually do only go 65 but I’ve been caught up in traffic going 70 plus on occasion. About all I run on the small boat trailers are the 4.8x 12" wheels and tires rated for about 1,100lbs each. I may put as much as 3k miles a year on boat trailer tires and get maybe a year and a half out of them, maybe less. The sure seem like soft rubber compared to automobile tires. I think we pay too much for tires that are cheaply made by comparison.
