You would think that would be right. If I put 80lbs in there, I am guaranteed to have a blowout. 70-75 I'm good, its crazy.

I guess I should have said this is on and open trailer 4350 Lbs. fully loaded with 15" 10 ply tires with a max air pressure of 65#. Did not try to mislead any one....

We use the new (about two years now) Towmaster All Steel Construction F-rated 15" trailer radial as the optional tire for Trailer Toads.
ZERO issues in over a year.
These need up to 100 lbs of air and the capacity is more than a standard 15" trailer wheel can handle so we put them on thicker heavier-rated steel rims.
About $150 mounted, balanced and a new HD wheel.

Anyone run rubber masters? Looking at some 225/75/15 load range E 10ply

I've had great luck with Maxxis.

Changing trailer tires every 3 or 4 years, regardless of mileage or how they look, is just a cost of doing business. I have never changed one on the side of the road (hope I'm not jinxing myself) and don't ever plan on changing any on the side of the road.
