Are Trailer Tires Rated Individually or as Pairs
Question:
Trailer tires have ratings of A, B, CA etc. Is that per tire or per pair. 585 load rating on tire. If there are two tires on trailer is that 1170 lbs total or just 585?

Helpful Expert Reply:
The Load Ranges and weight capacities that you see on our trailer tires are the rating per tire. So you would need to double that for the overall axle capacity.
For example, the tire capacity of the part # AM30590 that you referenced is 785 lbs so when using two you would have a capacity of 1,570. You should note that the wheel on this is rated higher at 1,250 lbs. But you would be limited to the tire capacity since that is the lower figure.
I also attached a link to a review video for this wheel/tire and a help article on trailer tires for you to check out as well.
