The Aluminum Bearcat Trailer Wheel # 274-000039 is rated for tire pressures up to 110 psi. You will need to replace the valve stem on this wheel with a higher rated one, as the existing valve stem is not rated for 110 psi tire pressure. If you need one, I recommend the Americana Metal, Bolt-In Valve Stem # AM20906, which is rated for over 100 psi.

Load range B trailer tires are going to have a lower capacity than C load range tires. Basically that, psi rating, and the ply rating are the only differences. A higher load range tire would last a little longer than lower load ranges of the same…

I did some checking and the hub/drum we offer that will work for you is the part #8-430-5UC3. This uses the same bearings as the 8-415 and will be an exact fit aside from the fact this is a non-ABS setup and the 8-415 came in an ABS setup and non-ABS…

Answer 9

Your math is correct in your trailer weight load example. If a fully-loaded tandem axle trailer weighs 4000-lbs then each of the 4 tires will bear 1/4th of that load, or 1000-lbs. In this case a tire rated for 1300-lbs would provide a good safety…
