Re:How much weight?

Only problem is that 60 pounds will not track steady, you will have a sway problem. 80 pounds is pushing the issue. I ran 14 ply rating at 110 pounds and it worked well with single wheels. You will need the E rating for the higher pressure of 80 pounds.

Re:How much weight?

I don't know what kind of tires those are, but I have never heard of a D load range that could handle 3300lbs. I just bought six 14 ply tires for my stepdeck and they are rated at 3400 or so with 110psi.

Re:How much weight?

What kind of tires were they Luke?
I need that type tire for my trailer since I'm overweight most of the time and have blown one out already.

Re:How much weight?

One thing to keep in mind on the weight issue is that at least here in Minnesota the state CAN write an overweight ticket if you are over the mfgs. GVW rating. I don't know about other states, but I would think that they are probably about the same.

Re:How much weight?

You see way to meany people on here that what to pull more then they should. In doing so they are not only in-dangering themselves but also others who might have the misfortune of being in your path. Not only is this urresponsible, not sets the seene for a ugly leagle battle. If your truck can only safely pull a set amount , or carry a set amout I believe one should adhere to those recomendations. If you need more truck, get a different truck. If that isn't possible, go to a smaller trailer. I'm not trying to come down hard on anyone, just tired of seeing people hurt by stupid, unresponsible actions.

Re:How much weight?

If a person is not knowledgeable enough to load to the capacities of their axles, tires, and suspension, you are right.

Signed,
Stupid & unresponsible

PS: thanks
