Our teardrop trailer is 1600# and there have been a number of stories on the Teardrop & Tiny Travel Trailer forum of catastrophic tire failures with serious damage from ST tires that are under loaded.

I replaced my Marathons before a 3000 mile trip last year with Micheline Harmony passenger car tires which had a weight rating of about 1600# each.
