A friend of ours just purchased a new Trail Runner 24RK trailer. It has a listed GVW of 7600 pounds. It also came with some off brand tire that is a load range C tire. I believe the max weight as per sidewall information is 1720 or maybe 1740 when inflated to the full 50 PSI. So, even at 1750 per tire it would only cover 7000 pounds.
My question is this, is it common practice in the trailer industry to install tires that are underrated for the stated weight rating of the trailer? I would think that such a company could be held liable in the event of an accident caused by the weak tires.

Do not forget the effect of heat on the tires. I have load range C's, keep the pressure at the rated max, also I use a TPMS system to monitor pressure and temp...one other thing - when at all possible I do not exceed the max speed rating (62 mph)...this is important...and yet I see many folks ripping by me at speeds exceeding that some obviously at 70mph or better.

Tire Max Load Rating is same as or more then trailers axles.......
Remember-----
Trailer tongue weight is part of trailers GVWR BUT is not carried/supported by trailers axles/tires. Tongue weight goes on tow vehicle
SO YES tires are marginal but they cover the axle weight. Axles are probably rated at 3500# each for 7000# also.
