Now I do like the endurance tires from GY. But they only come in load range D. These are 65 psi tires.
If I went this route I dont want or need the capacity. Its a 7000 GVW trailer maybe loaded to 5500 lbs max fully loaded. Lets just say I can get it up to 6000 lbs for giggles.
Also note the dry weight was/is 4730lbs. No way to fit close to 2200 lbs in any of the available storage areas.
So GY inflation tables shown here show I can do 50psi for the same 1760lb rating as c rated tires.
GY endurance inflation tables.
The question. How will lower PSI affect the tire regarding heat?
I was thinking maybe running 55 psi in them. But I dont want the trailer bouncing all around.
I replaced my LR C 205/75 R14 China bombs with LR D Endurance and run them at the max 65 p.s.i. and wouldn't consider running them any less even though the trailer typically averages ~ 4800 lbs fully loaded and at least 1000 lbs below it's GVWR. Trailer tracks true and steady, better than it ever has with those soft wall bombs that were supplied stock with the trailer. Do what you want but I see zero advantage to running these tires with anything less.
