TIme to replace tires... Radial or Bias?
So, two summers and OEM tires are shot, worn out on the inside. Likely due to inadequate pressure (my fault I know)
In searching replacements and looking at the load rating, I'm a little shocked.
Trailer, Jayco x17z, 3200lbs dry, 3500lbs wet max and I know we're at our limits with gear/water etc.
OEM tirs, H188, ST185/80/13D
In looking at replacements on etrailer. The load rating x 2 still is really not that much above the trailer wet weight and some are below...
I know manufactures like to cheap out where they can.. but I can't believe they would put tires that are not up to snuff on a trailer.
Am I looking at this wrong? Two tires.. less tongue weight is my load rating requirement or am I really under on my tires?
If I have to I will go up in size.. but it would be just easier to replace with same tire.. and move one of the worn tires to a spare (still lots of tread left for a spare I'm sure)
Thoughts?
