[Land-speed] Tires for my Trailer

[Larry Mayfield]

Neil, as I just sent a reply to another post...my trailer  is 15800 
capacity tripple axle. I load it to around 10 k.  tires are faithfully 
kept to the highest rating on the side walls. I think Greenball is the 
maker of Towmaster tires.  I think and that may be dangerous, lol.  Been 
a while since my thinker has worked well apparently.   How fast do you tow?
