Can Load Range D Taskmaster Tire # TTWTRTM2157514D Replace C-Rated Tires on Triple Axle Trailer
Question:
I have a 1999 karavan boat trailer that the previous owner converted from dual Axel to tripple axel and it tows great he did an awesome job with the conversion my question is with the trailer being tripple axel and the boat weighing in at 6000 pounds loaded would it be worth up grading from having 6 C range tires to 6 D range tires I do like the extra capacity just dont know if its necessary with 6 tires and a boat and trailer weight pushing 8000 pounds

There certainly are benefits to increasing the load range of your tires, extra safety margin and reduced heat - since heat is the number one enemy of trailer tires. Changing your triple-axle boat trailer's tires from Load Range C to Load Range D should allow them to run cooler than the lower-rated LR-C tires you have now. This does not mean that the trailer's capacity has increased, since that is a function of the capacities of the tires, wheels, hubs, axles, frame, etc.
Special Trailer (ST) tires should always be inflated to their maximum rated psi pressure as noted on the tire sidewall. The tire cannot deliver its rated capacity unless inflated to the cold tire pressure indicated on the tire. Also, you never want to mix tire types, sizes or ratings. If you use tires that don't match, you could experience problems of overloading and overheating, which can lead to tire failure. Unless specifically rated otherwise trailer tires like the Load Range D Taskmaster # TTWTRTM2157514D should not be operated above 65-mph.
