Re: Trsiler Tiers OR Light Truck?
My boy is one of largest Trailer Dealers in Nevada. He suggests a 16 Inch tire = if it will fit.
He sells a lot of 235/85/16 E tires and rims for retro fit (About a $160.00 deal for racers at races).
If you order a new trailer = spec it for 16 tires so they put a fender on it that has adequate clearance
(Some Manufactures use fenders with minimal clearance). The G rated tires are readily available in 16
235/85 size and that is what we run on everything...... another 20 to 25 a tire but worth it to me out here in
the Desert.
We use Race Ramps or put the Dually truck on Rhino Ramps ( Not our Bus ) if needed but the height difference
is not that much.
When you buy a trailer.......Look for Dexter Axles!
The Chinese axles are.......Cr*p!
Never run a Trailer Tire OVER 5 years or you are risking you life IMO!
We never run our personal trailers over 2 to 3 years.......Saves a lot of problems
Generally the tires are date coded....I have seen some Dealers with a 2 or even 3 years old tires on new trailers!
