Got a 16-foot 10,000-lb GVW flatbed tandem-axle trailer I use to haul a tractor occasionally. I have to haul at interstate highway speeds, for over 500 miles. Original equipment tires were 235-15 load range C no name car tires, with a maximum cold pressure of 35 psi. Lots of sidewall flex, in my opinion, even with less than maximum load. Had a tire tread separation on the last trip, so I'm looking for better tires with some safety margin (maximum GVW for me is around 8,000). I was considering 225-15 Goodyear Marathon trailer tires (load range D), but I've seen a lot of complaints about tread separations. Also thinking about load range D (2500 lbs per tire) light truck tires. Any reason not to use LT tires on a trailer? Some of them will handle 45 psi, which is better than what I have, but I wonder if it's enough. What do you folks recommend?
