Another tire dilema
Father is supposed to leave this morning for a 5 day trip, about 1k kms round trip. Last night while inspecting the fiver he noticed that 2 of the 4 tires had cracks in the sidewalls near the rim. The trailer was bought new in May last year so he called the dealer about the tire warranty. The process will take too long so he went to his mechanic. He ordered new tires last night, same ones he puts on his trailers.
He goes in this morning to have them installed. They are Carlysles load range D with a max 80psi. The stock tires were 50psi max. I don't think the rims are rated for 80psi and the mechanic said to just air the tires up to 50.
Questions; Are the new Carlysles any good? Is it ok to only air them up to 50psi? Tires weight rating is well over the weight of the fiver so they won't be near max load.
