I purchased an 8x16 enclosed v-nose with 5000# axles for a 10, 000# carrying capacity. It was pretty much empty from East TN to Los Angeles by way of ND and the tires looked great when we got to LA. We loaded up our furniture, etc and took off back to ETN. When I bought my new tractor I asked if the dealer might be interested in buying the trailer since it was purchased for the single move, cheaper than renting a U-Haul after the sale. They said yes and that was when we saw the inside of all 4 tires were pretty much ripped off. We had severely overloaded the trailer but luckily the axles sprang back. Tire wear is usually caused by overload. Hopefully your manufacturer put enough axle under the trailer to allow you to load more than a loaf of bread.
