Does The Maximum Load Range Capacity Apply Per Tire

Question

Question:

I have a little home made camper approx 4x8 harbor frt. frame.. The empty weight is 600 lbs. and I was told it was safe to have 700 pounds of cargo/camping gear inside. I saw your load capacity was 785lbs... I assume that is per tire. Correct? If so, no response is fine..... Im ok right now but will buy two tires only down the road. i actually have 2 extra wheels. One was a spare and the other I bought because I was negligent on the tire pressure and got uneven wear on the first set which i hauled about 3500 miles in 4 months..... I just wanted two new, same tread design....

The extra loop is referred to as a hand saver loop. It simply provides a safer place to grab the end of the strap for when you're pulling out slack from the winch drum. The snap hooks can get torn up a little, and could be rough on your fingers…

The two tire sizes you referenced, 4.80-12 and 5.30-12, both fit 4-inch wide rims, but they differ in their overall diameter. A 4.80-12 tire/wheel when fully inflated will have a diameter of 20-1/2-inches while the 5.30-12 size will be just under…

If the sidewall of your 4.80-12 size tires say 90 psi then that is what you want them to be when the tires are cold (after they have been sitting for a while like overnight). This is the psi rating that the manufacturer has tested and approved to be…
