Car Trailer Tires
Stroker,
The tires that I had on my trailer were rated at 2149#s each for a total weight rating of 8596 #s.
With my Dart on the trailer, my total gross weight of my R/T, car and trailer was 9510#s. Measured on a CAT scale.
Steer Axle 2250
Drive Axle 2860
Trailer Axles 4400
So my trailer tires were loaded a little over 50%.
And the sidewall on a radial flexes as opposed to the tread on a bias ply which will wear out the tread as well as generate a lot of heat.
I pulled my Dart 100 miles on the original trailer tires and they got hot.
Never happened with the car radials.
I also run car radials on my cycle trailer.
The tires don't know if they are holding up a car or a car trailer.
And a properly loaded trailer will not sway, radials or bias ply.
