I had hoped to avoid justifying the use of tires with light load capacity and not buying new but looks like that can't happen. Here's the situation. I'm in Tx where there is an anormous number of Hispanic owned cars and trucks. There is a tire shop on every corner catering to those customers. You can buy 4 matching used tires that will pass state safty inspection mounted and balanced for $100 to $125 depending on size. If you have a friend with a auto salvage to tell the truth,ask him about wheels. It seems to rain wheels around a busy salvage yard. When the crusher is sceduled to come the owner has empolyees throwing wheels inside cars to be crushed. Forgive the racial overtone but it's true. A white or black yard owner will ask $25 to $40 each for wheels depending how lazy he feels that day. Most Hispanic owners will sell a wheel(anything else for that matter) for what you will pay rather that let you walk if you haggle a little. We own a 30k triple axel deckover, a 12 foot 18k dump,a 35'cattle hauler and one MD truck capiable of safly towing them when fully loaded. Which do you think I should hook up to move one of these? 5 hay bales,100 bags of feed or suppliment,a 1500Lb utility vehicle,800 Ford,65MF,100 fence posts,a few corral panels,a creep feeder(and a thousand other things that are either too large for a pick-up truck bed or that isn't to be unloaded rightaway). I don't pull the heavy hauler truck out of the shed nor tie either of those trailers behind a 3/4 to truck for those jobs. Instead,I also own 2 16'7k tandem utility,1 custom built UTV hauler with tool boxs that can also be towed around the place by the UTV,a 5 bale hauler,2 small boxes and a small single axel flat bed to handle those chores. It's legal in Tx to haul up to 3999Lbs farm use without brakes,inspection or registeration. Up to 10k with a $6 registeration. If your budget was skinney as ours,you wouldn't reccomend outfiting all those with new G range tires? Steve,I see those spraddle legged trailers around here too. Most are landscapers that overload with dirt,dirt is like Brilcream. George,are you saying offset wheels may have contributed or the axle was only bent by too much weight? I think bent axel is something to consider even at rated capacity but unsure how far under capacity would be safe. Pops,I'm not worried about mounting,I have a coats machine in the shop(albeit older than me)and ever few years everyone chips in and hires a man to pick up all our junk tires. The days of useing old tires to control erosion are gone. They have heard that story and will fine you heavly even on property you own. The health officials will also get in your middle over junk tires because of West Nile. W_B,rest assured I didn't pay over $10k for the triple axel expecting to use passenger tires on it.
