[QUOTE="2400, post: 174846, member: 3254"] Those are passenger tires made for a good ride NOT towing. They start with P (passenger) NOT LT (light truck) they have a MAXIMUM load rating of 2400 # that includes the weight of the truck, people in it, all the shit you pack, gas AND the tongue weight of the trailer. I'll bet of you weigh the truck with full tank, honestly figure the weight of the people, any animals and the stuff you bring, you'll be surprised as hell. Tires are cheap insurance! I'd put new LT 10 ply rated tires on the truck [B]and[/B] spare, then sell what you have for a few bucks. You might get enough out of them to pay for one of your new tires. Thats cheap insurance against a blow out that wrecks your truck and new trailer. Here are the things that make towing safer and more enjoyable. A good quality trailer brake controller, the correct hitch height, a good coupler and the best ball and hitch you can buy NOT the one at Wally World, sway bars that are adjusted correctly, good tires on the trailer, not the ones made out of paper that they put on at the factory (great place for an upgrade when you buy), a dedicated for the trailer jack that works on the trailer and a 4 way that fits the trailer lug nuts [B]and [/B]2 spares. Trailer tires always seem to blow out in pairs. And make sure your new trailer has the right insurance and all the contents are covered along with your tow vehicle. [/QUOTE]
