Just picked up my first big trailer. A used 24' gooseneck to pull behind my pickup. I'm not such a noob that I wouldn't realize that load range "C" tires probably aren't going to hold up anything but a load of sailboat fuel. I'm happy they can hold the trailer up. Said trailer is rated for 24,000 lbs., sits on tandem.... either 12- or 14000 lb axles & currently sports 4 LT245/75R16 4 ply tires (is LT light truck??!) rated for 2200 lbs a piece. The heaviest load there is to haul with it is my chopper, which weighs in at 11,500. Should each tire be able to handle at least 1/2 of the total capacity of the trailer or how does that work? How many ply is required for this or does that automatically go up with the load range? The ones on my truck are load range "E", 6800 lb. capacity & are 10 ply, but I could have ordered the same sized tires at 8 ply.
