i just pulled the trailer out from under my toon and low and behold the tires say that the max weight is 1300lbs now i know that my toon weighs 3100 trailer/motor everything....now is there a way of telling what size tires i am suppose to have on this it is a sea bird trailer if that helps the current tires are four lug 13"

Re: i think i have been lucky

It's 1300 pounds per tire, puts you at 2600 max. You will still need a 13 inch tire to fit the rim. Are they rated as a trailer tire? Do you have a Discount Tire store in your area? Nice folks, good company

single axle or tandem axle, if tandem you are fine that puts you at 5200 load. you are running a class "B" load rated tire, you could step up next time to a 1480 lb class "C" rated tire, would give you 5920 load.

its a single axle trailer........i know nothing about tires just plan on talking to the guy at the tire shop.......no discount tires here just a small town marathon tire and wally world.....is there a tire that is rated 1700lbs or so that would give me some play room

Re: i think i have been lucky

will probably have to change hubs also, are your axle and springs heavy enough? http://www.championtrailers.com/hubs.html#painted_hubs
