Published 03/28/2014

Question:

This tire is rated for 1,220 pounds at 65 pis. does this mean each tire can handle 1200 pounds so for a pop up trailer with 2 wheels max trailer would be 2400 pounds?

The weight capacity rating for trailer tire # AM10130 is, as you have stated, 1,220 pounds at 65 psi. For a single axle the capacity as far as the tires would be 2,440 pounds. But if the axle, hubs, or suspension is rated lower then that is the capacity you would need to go by.

I have included a link to our help article on trailer tires for you.
