:hello::hello::hello:

Low 60s this morning, so I :driving: the Z today :tup:


Looks like I have a new project, engineered floors in the family room...:eekdance:
240 sq. feet, a rectangular room (well, at least as 'square' as they get built these days), there's carpet on concrete, so the only issue might be a concrete floor that's not level. :ugh2:

Now to move the desk, a recliner and a 75 (?) gallon aquarium.....:eekdance:

The Goodyear Endurance Trailer service tires are rated just over 2800# each@80psi :tup:
We haven’t had trouble with those on our cargo trailers :ugh2:
The tires that I was referring to on Spoolers horse trailer are most likely 235/85/R16’s, as those are available in 14ply (G-load range) & HAF :icon14:
Those are on a few deck over trailers that see off road action, bounce off curbs & errthing else....just abused :iagree:
Run those tires at max cold tire pressure & as level as possible, as Spooler mentioned.
Measure the ground clearance on each side at front & rear vs using a level....+ a tick high is better in front vs being low up front; that will wag the dog :nutswinger:
Properly loading is another thing; keep weight forward & let your big truck handle so of the spread :ugh2:
I currently have a small 5x9 tag trailer w/ ShingShang’ s on it & a Goodride spare from Tractor Supply..ST205/75/15 ... I’m thinking C load range (6ply) :wtf2:
No where the weight you’re hauling; but you’ll be fine with the GY’s,as your hubs can’t hardly withstand the increased weight of the 14-ply 16” wheel/tire combo :iagree:

I poked around looking at tires for my car trailer yesterday. Best one is the Goodyear Endurance and they are rated for 87mph. Suck it up and get the load range E's but they do offer the load range D's. They are cheap compared to the Goodyear G614.
I never set to max PSI unless I am loaded at the limit. I set at 10psi lower than max for normal use. Oh yeah, weigh your chit on a certified scale loaded. That way you know what you have weight wise per axle.

How much of an issue with leveling are you talking? You could try self leveling compound to smooth things out. My buddy had a floor that actually dropped 1.5" from one side to the other, and we were able to take a lot of that out using self leveling compound and the underlayment.

Just signed the paperwork to back out of the house contract. Sellers already have it back on the market now asking 85k. It's still 20k to high for all the foundation work needed. Morons.....

I won't know until we get the carpet & what's left of the pad up. I think we'll be okay, this is very old carpet and we think the previous owners took part of the pad out in places. :shakes head::shakes head:

Every time Stanley Steemer comes out to clean that carpet, a little more pad disappears..... .:ugh2:

Ok if I pass by a weigh station at I75 could I get a reading how much weight my trailer load is it for free or I need to pay?

For now I got National its 10 ply at 80psi max
The GY has to be ordered.
They recommend Heartland same rating as GY but lot cheaper. Have you heared about this brands National, HeartLand? Looks like they are from Covid land too.

Truck stop would be your best bet. Have the car loaded in the trailer. Drive on the scale. Weight just the truck first with the trailer attached. Then weight both truck and trailer together. Then weight just the trailer with truck attached.

Stay away from ANY tire from China.

Do they charge a fee for that?
