[Vintage-race] Trailer tires

A friend has a large gooseneck trailer, probably around 40' with 
triple axles.  He was going through one or two tires almost every 
trip.  He finally purchased 6 of the Michelin "Commercial" truck 
tires and has not had a problem since.  They are pricey but may be 
worth considering.

It seems that overkill is worth the extra cost.  On my 24' Haulmark 
with a loaded weight of about 6K, I finally increased the size to 
225/75-15 and went from load range C to D.  They are now 7 years old 
and I haven't had a single failure (Yet!:-).

But, your mileage may vary.
