Didn't know where to post this so .......
 

I just picked up this lil gem last week for $40 :D (Not that price isn't a typo) :lol:

I had a New 2" 7K lb Bulldog hitch welded on Friday (Had a 1 7/8) :uhmk:

My question is, what kind of tires should I run on it to handle abuse?

(BTW, It also has the Factory type Overloads under it also) :cool:

Using a set of 15x6 factory steelies (Not installed yet)

wow alsome

Re: Didn't know where to post this so .......
 

Depending on how much you plan to put in it and how often you would use it and abuse it... I'd suggest running a pair of 8 to 10 ply commercial duty tires. Load range C at least. They will be hard but they will resist punctures better and last a long time. 40 bucks huh? I never run across deals like that.

:agree:

I'd say it's already been abused. Looks like a hog chewed on that right rear corner. Perfect beat-around-town utility trailer.

Leafs or coils? I recommend good shocks for a coil spring setup. They tend to sway alot. The heavier tires will help too.

Dang! Nice steal! What is this? Steal month?

Re: Didn't know where to post this so .......
 

Coils, as mentioned as the overloads, thanks for the tips
on the shocks, it does sway a lil bit in turns, load range
C was what I was looking at, found em in 6 ply, enough?

$40 ??? great deal I would keep same tires. If they handled the loads on the truck before, they should hold just fine. My trailer is the same but 3/4 ton I have stock wheels/tires from 05 Duramax Load range "E". Dont know the difference in capacity between load ranges. I will tell you from experience, keep a jack stand under the bumper if you dont want any freaked out kids or drunk adults :lol: when they step on the bumper Its funny til someone starts bleeding :lol:

Re: Didn't know where to post this so .......
 

Yeah, they sway a lot, I saw a similar bed-trailer going down the highway behind a Astro-van, all it had in it was some rolls of fiberglass insulation and it was swaying like crazy.

Re: Didn't know where to post this so .......
 

Needs a swaybar...

Re: Didn't know where to post this so .......
 

i run 7.00x15 bias ply, d load range tires on all my trailers. they take abuse very well...

Re: Didn't know where to post this so .......
 

Nice score!

I run P235/75R15s on mine and it tows well, but I have leafs.

Re: Didn't know where to post this so .......
 

Well it has 225/75/15 on it now. (One used, and one came
with) Neither of which I wanna test with a heavy load. lol
on the rear swaybar. (It would cost more than the trailer)

Re: Didn't know where to post this so .......
 

i work for les schwab tires and we put lots of 6 or 8 ply st trailer radials on small trailers like that.

Re: Didn't know where to post this so .......
 

What a score!

Re: Didn't know where to post this so .......
 

Nice score. If you're not going to get crazy with it, I'd run the original tires and just have a good spare handy. Mine is an 8 lugger with leafs. I wish it had trailing arms because I plan on pulling it behind the burb and it would be cool to airbag the trailer so I could drop them both at the same time, :D. Here's pictures of mine:
