The New “What did you do with your Z today” (with off topic replies) XXXVII

You’re running 14-ply tires on that one
We have a few tag trailers with the same tires on it, not because of the load...but the extra ply, as they’re HD for sure

We run load range G on everything. Very rare to have a blow out and we wear out axles/springs as fast as tires on most of the deck overs.

You said a ST with 10 ply would work with my 20 footer?

jchammond

I did; as the E load-range tire is factory sizes for that trailer & adequate,pending quality of tires.
The Goodyear Endurance Trailer service tires are rated just over 2800# each@80psi
We haven’t had trouble with those on our cargo trailers
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
Those are on a few deck over trailers that see off road action, bounce off curbs & errthing else....just abused
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
Properly loading is another thing; keep weight forward & let your big truck handle so of the spread
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)
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

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.

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?

Rusty

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.

Do they charge a fee for that?

Spooler

A proper scale will be able to weigh every axle at one time. It is divided into sections with load cells for each section. Front axle, truck rear axle, and trailer axles.

Spooler

NOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!
Go to a truck stop that has scales.

Zoren 370

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.

Rusty

Stay away from ANY tire from China.
