Maxxis tire chart:
clicky
Ran Maxxis ST205/75R15 at 50 lbs (1820 lbs per tire) for many years. Had several tread separations but just replaced with the same type tire. Gave up on Maxxis and tried Green Ball from Direct Tire. After about one year one of them blew out and another had a large bubble.
I'm sure my trailer is over weight but have not measured it.
Called Maxxis engineer to talk about updating tires. He suggested going to ST225/75R15 at 55 lbs (2270lbs per tire), a 25% increase in capacity and should ride about the same. Could go to 65 lbs (2540 lbs per tire) if I want to. Had to make sure there was enough clearance for the 1.2 inch diameter larger tire and get new rims. Have not towed enough to see if these tires are more reliable.
I asked about truck tires. The only thing he said was that after all the problems with car tires several years ago that they now have a much larger built in safety factor than they had back then.
