[VAC] More Tire Confusion
OK - Just when I thought I had this figured out, thanks to all the help
from this list, I discover the following printed on the side of the tires:
"Max Load Range Single 2040 lbs at 60PSI Cold
Max Load Range Dual 1800 lbs at 60PSI Cold"
Whats the "Single" vs "Dual" about? I have a dual axle trailer, is that
what "dual" means or perhaps it's "Dual Wheels", like on a truck?
GVWR on my trailer is 7200 pounds. Assuming I am not overweight, and with
the tires I have, I figure I should have around 50 lbs pressure. Does that
sound right?
BTW - Airstream's owner manual says 40 pounds for a 31' trailer with Load
Range C tires (45 if they are radial tires).
