To the educated tire posters here, thanks for all this info...you do us all a great service, but my eyes hurt.
Can we sum it up for those of us that really don't want to get into the science of tires. What do you say to this?
1. Buy tires of a load rating sufficient to carry the load you have.
2. Allow a safety margin in the tire you choose (For me that is a G rated tire rather than the factory E rated tire on my 7000 lb axles).
3. Ensure that the valve stem used is appropriate for the pressure rating.
4. Keep your tires inflated to the max pressure rating for the tire.
5. Check said pressure frequently.
6. Don't overload or underinflate.
Does that cover it?
Well, no input from O.P. Capriracer on this potentially useful tool.
And we had such High Hopes that At Long Last, a tire industry "insider" was going to help us sort things out!
I'm beginning to wonder whether he started this thread to help US or just to mine the members for information that he lacks, if his answers to questions about trailer tires in his
All experts column are any indication....
Anybody care to take bets on how much of what we've taught him will appear as "insider information" on his Private Blog?
