After long search-well 30 minutes-15inch LT tires load E/116
I decided I need a tire with a higher speed range to withstand the heat. My truck tires, with a smaller load range than the Maxxis 8008 E load tires on the 5er and carrying 2000lbs each on the axle never blow out. They wear out over time but do not blow out from heat like the ST higher load tires do.
I thought about going up to 16in wheels on the trailer but found these made in Finland 15 inch truck tires for $117 including shipping on Amazon.
Nokian Rotiiva AT ATV Radial Tire - 235/75R15 116/113S (116=2700lb 113=2500lb). I only have 7000lbs split between two axles/4 tires and yet Maxxis 8008's E load tires blow out every time I cross the desert in the summer.
I hope someone here on the forum has tried these tires for a 5er ot TT. I would like to hear from anyone with experience with these tires.
Please no comparisons or explanations, I am convinced from my experience that it is not the load range that matters but the speed range, which is to say the tires ability to deal with heat.
If you have not driven for 1000's of miles in 110+ heat your experience may be different.
