Question:
Im having a trailer built to haul golf carts I will be hauling 8 to 10,000 pounds at a time I would like the deck of the trailer low as possible will be running highway speed 70 to 80 mph what is the best tire and wheel for this application

Helpful Expert Reply:
Since you plan on going up to 80 MPH you will want to go with a tire that has a M speed rating like the part # TA57VR which is rated to go up to 81 MPH.
This wheel and tire has a 6 on 5-1/2 inch bolt pattern and has the weight capacity of 2,540 lbs at 65 psi. For a tandem axle application this would give you over 10k in wheel/tire capacity.
