Said I would have to take the tires/rims off the trailer and take them in separately was the only way they could do it.
Obvious reply is going to be to go find another tire shop which is what I will likely have to do. Just trying to get an idea if this is a common theme with tire shops and putting LT tires on trailers?
What is the current ST size tire on your 5er?
What is the listed GVWR of your 5er, I see a dry weight of about 8,700# Likely a GVWR around 12,000# So a set of LT 235/85-16 will have a total rating of 12,168#. I have a 5er with a GVWR of 12,360# subtract 2,200# of pin I only carry at GVWR about 10,000# on the axles.
