If the tire is an old pair,,,, harder tires wont grip as well as a new tire. More weight on the wheels will help,, to help plant the axle to the ground. Down here,, there is no limit as to how close the hook point can be from the center of the rear axle,,, so if you can get it closer,, do so,, or run the rule limit speced out for you. If your running pressd steel rear rims,, put as much weight as you can on the wheels, or if your running cast centers, thats better,, you wont have to put so much on the wheel to compensate for the weight loss. At 5750,, there wont be much weight on the rear wheels,, If your running suitcase weights behind the seat,, you may want to consider putting the weight on the wheels rather than outback,, The reason is,, your hitch should provide enough weight transfer to allow the front end to be lighter and not need the counter balance off the rear,, wheel weights should help give you a harder grip to the street. As you get heavier, keep adding one wheel weight to each wheel, and utilize the rest of the weight to put behind the seat, and out front. Main goal is to make the rear axle very heavy to help plant the tires,, bout 13 psi for older hard tires may be a good starting point,, no less than 10,,,, Once the axle is heavy enough to get a bite and not be overpowered,, the counter balance weight placement on the rear, and eventually out front will take form right in front of your eyes. Its like watching a slow motion video when the tractors hook up and go, very graceful,,,, smooth, and many rounds to go round N round. Dont overpower the wheels to the ground,,, youll find that power in this type of pulling, (deadweight) will bite you. so be conservative on the throttle.
