Trailer tire running hotter and bulging?
Ran three hours, 65mph pretty much entire time. Set to 65 psi the night before we left. Got to the park and I felt each tire with back of hand. This tire was warmer. With laser fudge it was over 20...

This kind of bulge (tread separation) may NOT show up with higher heat during
the initial stages, from my experience on these comments
Also, ST are the lowest cost, generally, of the same size from ST to P to LT classes
Trailer tires get a ton of abuse, even with an old tire monkey guy like me (worked my
way through college and that was just one of my part time jobs)
Ran over curbs, potholes, 'stuff' on the pavement, etc...that the TV dodged...
Think most trailers do NOT place their weight evenly side to side...so the tires
are not evenly weighted side to side...heck even front to back is a ditto
Am not a 'just good enough' nor 'at the rating limit' type of person...
The sidewall 'max weight' is factored by the 'max speed rating', which
is NOT molded in on most sidewalls. Maybe a speed 'letter' but you have
to look that up...as most all ST tires are rated max speed of 65 MPH
One OEM does say you can go 75 MPH if you also over inflate above
the sidewall PSI. 10 PSI is what their documentation says, but not
for me
