[QUOTE="COLT, post: 396511, member: 1351"] So here is the deal... I run triple axle 7K trailer axles. Electric over hydro brake systems and pull really heavy. 16" wheels and a 235 85 16 tire. I have ran the firestone transforce as well as the hankook and loved the heck out of them both. I run over 120K a year on each trailer with combined axle weights of 20k on the trailer axles. I have never had a blow out or any type of problem with either of the aforementioned tires. The problem.. Both of the tires above only have a weight rating of 3042 pounds. :gay: I have tried the F rated Carlisles :puke:.....they suck, they actually have rotated on the wheel...as in they are not in the same mounted position they were installed in.. (Carlisle makes a "high end" F rated tire at 3900 lbs) The Firestone and the hankook can do the heck out of the job but the DOT man wants a tire rated for at least the maximum rated GVW of 21k on the axles. If I had my choice I would stick with what I know, but to put it simply my luck is going to run out. I need a tire that is 235 85 16 or 235 80 16 that has a weight rating of no less than 3500 pounds each that can do the job! I will not run a good year Marathon, they are spongy and wear out to quickly. A Good Year or Hankook G rated tire is only good for 33xx pounds. Can anyone tell me why the hell 7K axles come with a 16" rim and someone does not make a tire for it?? If such a beast is made please let me know so I can buy them.. I realize this is kind of petty and I could probably continue to "get away" with running a lighter tire.. Simply put, We haul super high value cargo from South Florida to Seattle and California. We charge a premium, and my customers boats deserve the correct equipment. Any ideas would be greatly appreciative... here is a picture of a loaded trailer [/QUOTE]
