Compatibility When Moving Up One Load Range On Boat Trailer
Updated 05/25/2018 | Published 05/24/2018
Question:
can you go from load range c to load range d on boat trailer ?
asked by: steve D
Expert Reply:
You can move from a load range C to a load range D tire on a boat trailer or any other trailer without concern. This will increase the ply rating of your tire and may slightly increase the trailer's capacity if the tires were the weakest component in the system.
When changing tires, you will want to pay attention to the tire size and make sure you are only moving one level from the manufacturer's rating or you may get a rigid ride and even wheel hop.
