Like
all racers, we have struggled over the years with tire blowouts on our
enclosed trailers. Our store trailer gets over 10,000 miles
per year of use, sometimes heavily loaded. We have learned
that there are several keys to trouble free trips:
1)
Tire Age - If you store the trailer outside, no matter the
mileage, the tires seem to only last 3 or so years before you have
trouble.
2)
Tire Pressure - We run our tires at max pressure plus
5-10psi. Remember that if you have a typical 24' enclosed
race car trailer that has 7k lbs of capacity, the trailer itself weighs
at least 3,000#. Add the car and "stuff" and you are easily
running at 90% or more of rated tire capacity. We also
recommend having your installer put metal or high pressure stems in the
wheels to handle this pressure.
3)
Speed - Remember, trailer tires are typically speed rated to
75mph. We are all racers and have a habit of running down
the road at close to or over the limit. 90% load, 100% speed
= lower tire life.
4)
Good tires. We have tried several brands over the
years with varying luck. The extreme low end seem to give you
what you paid. Though the other brands in the mid price
range are fine, we have had the best luck with Maxxis ST Radial
M8008....
