  Need trailer tire help

That is my thought too, Tom. Those little 12 inchers must be screaming at highway speeds. And I'd bet if you added up the weight of tractor and implements plus the trailer weight you are right at max. Do you have room for larger wheels ?

I think a taller tire is the answer:
1) It is much easier to find the weight rating you need in a larger tire.
2) Every inch you add to the height of a tire only lifts your trailer 1/2 inch but adds over 3 inches to its rolling circumference.
3) Add enough inches to the circumference and your can slow the tire way down in terms of revolutions per mile and that in turn will slow down it flexation rate, and therefore it will have less heat build up and decreased failure rate.

I think the combination of max or near max load and the speed at which those little 12's are turning is creating a heat problem. I bet those 14 inchers will turn about 1/2 the speed of the 12's.
