"... buying new tires for her 2 horse trailer and
has been told by 2 different dealers that she can't get 10 ply tires in a 15
inch tire. Is this true? Linda..."
There is no reason that a two horse trailer needs
anything more than load range B (old 4 ply rating). Even with two
horses the load per tire will be less than a 1970 Cadddy and they did fine with
them. Even with a 2 horse LQ, load range C (old 6 ply rating) like half
ton pickups use would be fine.
If in doubt, weight the trailer, add the weight of
two horses , and divide by 4. This will get you the load per tire.
Compare this with the weight on the side of the tire. Then inflate the
tire to the proper pressure.
