Can a Load Range C Trailer Tire be Used in Place of a Load Range B  

The first suggestion I have is for you to not exceed 65 miles per hour when towing your trailer. I wish there was something I could recommend that would allow you to tow faster than that, but unless stated otherwise trailer tires are limited to only…

If the 4.80-12 tires came with your trailer, I would recommend staying with the same size. I recommend the Kenda K353 Bias Trailer Tire, part #AM10062. This is a Load Range C tire with a maximum load capacity of 990-lbs at 90 psi.

My recommendation is to stay with the load range that your trailers axle is rated for and that matches the tires on your trailer. In this case a load range E trailer tire, like item #AM3H490, is rated for 1,650 lbs, which would be good for a single…

Tires have various load ranges for a given size. The load range is the amount of weight that size can handle. Trailer tires of one size could have B,C, and D load range options. B is going to have the lowest capacity while D would have the highest.…

Load ranges are basically an easy way to organize trailer tire capacities. They will vary based on the tire size. For example a Load Range C tire in the 4.80-12 tire size like the part #AM30660 that you referenced has a 990 lb capacity at 90 psi. A…

There is a lot of factors that go into this decision. First off what lug pattern do you have (See Article below)? I'm assuming you already have 5 lug but if not then you will have to look at a new hub assembly. If you already have the 5 on…

Your math is correct in your trailer weight load example. If a fully-loaded tandem axle trailer weighs 4000-lbs then each of the 4 tires will bear 1/4th of that load, or 1000-lbs. In this case a tire rated for 1300-lbs would provide a good safety…

In order to determine the torque rating for the lug nuts on your trailer you will need to know check out the chart I attached that shows all of the torque specs for all the trailer lugs available based on stud size, wheel material and wheel size.

The difference between an load range C and load range D tire in the same size is the capacity and psi rating. The two tires will still have the same dimensions and fit on the same wheel. The D rated tire has a higher capacity. For a ST175/80D13 like…

Load range B trailer tires are going to have a lower capacity than C load range tires. Basically that, psi rating, and the ply rating are the only differences. A higher load range tire would last a little longer than lower load ranges of the same…

The two sizes you mentioned are pretty similar and fit many of the same 15 inch wheels. The 205/75-15 fits rim widths of 5 inch to 6-1/2 inch whereas the 225/75-15 fits widths that are 5 inch to 6 inch. The 205 is 27.1 inches tall and the 225 is 28.4…

The difference between the Class II and Class III hitches has to do with their Gross Trailer Weight (GTW), their Tongue Weight (TW), and their Hitch Receiver Size. Class II trailer hitch receivers have a 1-1/4 inch receiver and can be rated up to…
