Ok…so….I got a question.
Just bought a brand new trailer. It’s is a single axle trailer and has 6-lug hubs and larger wheels and tires. It was designed to carry almost 1500 lbs more than my original trailer. Both are Skeeter trailers. The original is an EZEXPLODER, the new one is a SkeeterBuilt. The original was leaf springs, new one is Torsion springs. The original had 14x5” 5-lug wheels with 205/75-14 Goodyear Endurance tires. Max pressure was 65 lbs. load range D. I ran 65lbs. Tore up springs, hubs, bent axles, a few blowouts.
New trailer has 6-lug 15x5.5” wheels, 225/75-15 Goodyear Endurance tires. Max Pressure is 80lbs. Load range E.
Should I run 80lbs, even though the trailer decal clearly says 60? Does Skeeter know what they’re doing?m
…again, I had a bass boat trailer made on a Walleye boat trailer platform. My boat is NOWHERE near as heavy as a Deep V dual motor fiberglass boat.
I would trust Goodyear to make the right choice
Go get the trailer weighed. Cat truck scale
Then search up “Goodyear Endurance Load Chart”
That will show you the right pressure for the actual weight you are trailering.
