How to Select Correct Trailer Tire Size and Load Range Weight Capacity
Question:
What is the best size tire for a 24 ft in closed trailer with a 2500 lb.car in it?
asked by: Tom T
Expert Reply:
Trailer tires come in many sizes but also in various Load Ranges, which refer to the amount of weight the tire can handle. The size of tire you can use depends on the dimensions of your trailer wheels and the amount of space available around the tire inside the wheel well.
If you refer to the linked article on trailer tires you will be able to see the available sizes and load ranges as well as the wheel sizes each tire can fit on. You will need to know the trailer's gross weight rating in order to select tires that can handle the load and still have some safety margin.
