Race Car weighs 4100 to 4300 lb.
Depending on load of gas and some stuff in trunk.
Trailer weighs 1550 lbs + 50lbs Straps and Stuff
Total weight Range = 5700 to 5900 lbs.
Tow with 94 Caprice wagon, Plenty of torque.
Suspension beefed with rear roll bar, better springs, airbags.
Owned the trailer 5 years
Originals were Loadstar and shortly needed replacing.
Replaced with three sets of Loadstars 205/75/15 each Summer.
Three blow outs and rest became distorted with chord bulges.
They do not like hot Summer weather.
Last set had bubbles on the inside of the tire.
These tires are Rated for 65-70mph and rarely go over 65mph.
Pass rarely though pushed briefly to 70-75mph.
Loadstar recommended 5 Lbs air pressure above factory rating (60psi)
C&C Trailer said they had little problem with the tire.
But had to replace a few.
C&C this time upgraded the trailer with Champion 225/75/15 8 ply.
Fifth set of tires are slightly taller tire and it drives smoother.
They have a higher rating of 2850lbs per tire.
Has anyone had issues with Loadstar or other Brand?
One day may upgrade to an Enclosed trailer.
What issues are you all having?
All wisdom on the topic is helpful.
