Hercules Tire
Why would anyone need G rated tires on a trailer with 5200# axles? When I did a swap on a 9K trailer, any more than 70psi in a BFG LT235/85R16/E would not make contact across tread. Those tires lasted 5 years, 2 on the JayFlight, 3 on the Mountaineer. I replaced them with R250's this summer
Yeah ...Not the best choice for 5200 lb axles for sure.
Looking at the H901 Hercules shows a another all steel ply commercial grade LT235/85-16 G tire at 3756 lbs capacity. Hercules says they have been out since Nov/'13 so not much input on reliability issues which for my use is #1 consideration.
