Trailer Tire Recommendation for Blue Ridge BHS37 that has GVWR of 15,610 lbs
Question:
I have a blue ridge bhs37 fifth wheel trailer. It’s gvwr is 15610lbs. I have Goodyear marathon st235/80 r16s . They have been blowing out since almost day 1. I have replaced at least 5 times. I looked at that tire , e rated max weight 3120 at 80 psi. That only adds up to 12480. Go figure! I’m curios Will a am10501, resolve the issue? Is there enuff weight capacity to handle my gvwr plus more ? Thanx

Since you've been over capacity this whole time that is most likely why you have been having blow out issues. Per tire the Kenda part # AM10501 that you referenced has a capacity of 3,960 lbs at 110 psi which means on a tandem axle trailer you'd have a total tire capacity of 15,840 lbs when inflated to the max psi of 110. This would be over the amount you need since your GVWR is 15,610 lbs which means this would be a great solution.
A couple things to keep in mind is to always keep the tires inflated to the max pressure to ensure you get the full capacity as well as prevent heat build up. You also need to make sure you stay under the speed rating for the tires which for this tire is 81 mph.
