Calculation Methodology

Tire-Borne Weight = Gross Trailer Weight - Tongue Weight on Tow Vehicle. Load per Tire = Tire-Borne Weight / Total Trailer Tires. Safety Reserve % = ((Total Rated Capacity - Tire Weight) / Total Rated Capacity) * 100.

Frequently Asked Questions

Maximum cold pressure keeps sidewall flexing to a minimum, significantly reducing catastrophic internal heat buildup that leads to highway tread separation.
