Need trailer tire help

I think the combination of max or near max load and the speed at which those little 12's are turning is creating a heat problem. I bet those 14 inchers will turn about 1/2 the speed of the 12's.

Need trailer tire help

I am alway concerned about the 12" tires on my light boat trailer. I am always checking the temperature of the tires and bearings when I stop. If the bearing over heat they will quickly loose their grease and have catastrophic failure.

Make sure you don't put that tractor too far back on the trailer or you'll have A LOT more to worry about. I think those tires are too small for that trailer. I would get some 14" or 15" tires if possible to put on there.

LIKE THE OTHER POSTS IF HEIGHT IS THE PROBLEM MAYBE JUST MAYBE YOU COULD CHANGE THE AXLE HANG (IF IT IS OVER SLUNG)SPRING ON TOP OF AXLE TO (UNDER SLUNG) SPRING UNDER AXLE. MOST LARGE TRAILER SHOPS SELL THE BOLTS AND SPRING PERCHES. THIS COULD BUY YOU UP TO APPROX. 5 INCHES OF HEIGHT TO GO TO LARGER TIRES.(AS LONG AS YOU HAVE ENOUGH AXLE TO FRAME CLEARENCE TO PREVENT BOTTOMING.)
