I put 80-85 lbs and they have made the trip to La., and back almost 1400 miles and they are still perfect. No a single lb down yet. They are 1- 1/2 " taller than the 15's I took off. Thats it. They fit good. If you gonna buy tires, buy that. Tires were just over $100 ea., here, locally. I dont have a clue where they are made or who actually makes them though. Right now, I really dont care.
Thanks. The size is a big help. Did you notice if your gas consumption changed with the lower rolling resistance due to higher air pressure, yet more drag(higher trailer)?
