??? on trailer tires

hello all,I have a 2015 crossroad sunset trail, 26 rb.
I check the tires and never heard of lhool tires. are they China bomb kinda tire? also it said single or duel. my guess is that with two axles its duel?
now the max psi is 65. should I go with 60psi .
I be towing it for 6 hours so gotta make sure its right.
thanks for your help...
  • Go with max PSI. Sounds like a load range D. Never heard of the tire brand.
  • Google couldn't find them either. Any chance the tires state Uhaul?
  • tmw I will write down more information on those tire.
  • Air to 65psi. Most tire problems are caused by run-flats overheating and coming apart.

    Good luck.
  • also it said single or duel. my guess is that with two axles its duel?

    A two axle trailer = tandem axle trailer. Use the single load number.

    The tire will have a single load rating which is the highest. Dual position is lower.

    If the tire is used in a dual position (side by side like the rear tires on a one ton DRW truck) then it will be a lower rating.

    Don't forget these tire are used on all sizes of non rv trailers that may have a tandem dual axle set up.

    The unheard of brand name is typical. The Chinese factories will produce tires for anyone who is willing to pay for a batch and will slap any name on it that the purchaser wants. Run the tires at 65 psi. It's odd that it says single or dual. Rarely would you see a ST tire in a dual position. Tandem yes, but dual not so much. Trailers that have dual positions normally run real tires, like 19.5" or 22.5".

    Your view is just a wee bit provincial. With both production and sales exceeding 13 million units, China surpassed the US as the largest auto manufacturing and consuming country in the world last year.

    There are many BIG tire manufacturers in China supplying tires for all of those cars and trucks (and trailers too) and for export. . Just because you have never heard of it means nothing.

    I have been to cities in China that are larger than Philadelphia or Los Angeles that most Americans have never heard of...But they are real and some are not bad as cities go.

    To the OP. Keep them aired up, make sure your suspension is in good repair and you should have no problems. Where they are made just really is not a factor any more.
  • Did it give the load ratings? Use the single value and multiply it by 4 to see the total weight rating. Now compare this to your trailer's max weight rating. Your tires need to be above this rating.

    Run the pressure at the max. Failure to do so will increase the flexing of the tire which will increase the heat generated by the tire. It is the heat that causes bad things to happen.

    My suggestion is to get a known brand tire from a dealer you can trust and one who will stand behind (or in front of) the tires they sell.
