Re: [A/S] Trailer Tires

[hhamp5246@xxxxxxx]

I never said they were "no good" I just said *I* wouldn't buy from Firestone 
and that you need load range D for trailers (and as others pointed out, 
trucks). My truck actually weighs a little more than my trailer and it has 
Firestones on it as it's a newer Ford truck.

I had load range Cs on my trailer when I bought it.  One of the tires blewout 
while I was pulling (when else?) so that's when I bought the four new tires I 
have now and was advised to buy load range D.  

I'm glad you have had success with your Cs..... I had too until one blew. To 
be fair I don't know what caused it........ I drove for 20 more miles and by 
the time I was told I had a flat there were pretty much just cords left on 
the rim. See photo: http://members.aol.com/hhamp5246/tire.htm

What Airstream do you have and how much does it weigh? 

I would still like to know the weight ranges for load range C and D. My 
trucks weighs approx 8,000 pounds loaded and my trailer in the mid 7,000s.
