- TxsurferExplorerDoes anyone know if the discount tire will mount LT tires on a trailer? I like using them when possible.
- TxsurferExplorerThanks - what's the net diff between a 235 / 215 and 225? can't be much I would imagine?
- Grit_dogNavigatorThink you'll have better luck finding high load cap tires with trailer tires rather than LT tires. Trucks with 15" wheels went out about the time fuel injection came standard.
- elkhorn98ExplorerFirestone Transforce Ht Lt2357515 have a load capacity of 1,985 lbs
- All_I_could_affExplorerGoodyear Wrangler HT LT215/75/15 load range D
- theoldwizard1Explorer IIAny tire with a Load index of 105 (print on the sidewall) or higher will a capacity of over 2000 lbs
I have always had good luck Michelin LTX tires and they do come in 235/75R15 load rang 109. - NMDriverExplorerAll 8000 will not be on axles. Assuming you have at least 6 in wide rims, you can use Link to Amazon or another Link to Amazon
OR Link to ones I use carrying 8000lb on 4 tires.
Amazon has several others also link or link
Go weigh the individual axles at a CAT Scale and then make a choice. - jadatisExplorerAsuming you have 4 tires and 2 axles, you need at least 8000/4= 2000 lbs maximum load a tire.
Found with google LT 195R15 Loadindex 106/104 wich is maximum load a tire single 2050 lbs , and Dual 1984 , so for dual load axle ( 1 axles with 4 tires on it) to less , and for tandemaxle so 2 axels and 4 tires total , eanaugh to law but a bit poor .
But if you never load it fully , it would be enaugh.
When you load it to the max , minimum of 10% reserve would be nice for unequall load R/L , little overloading.
So that would mean a loadindex of 108 would be needed with 2205 lbs maximum load.
These are the things you have to take in to account when searching for tires. - TexasChapsExplorer
