Superior trailers of ga., inc. has utility trailers that they are using 13 wheel and tires on. the 13 tire is a load range c which is rated for up to 1360lbs they still have a 3500lb gvwr on there trailers. this is of great concern to me because as you know the tires will fail if over loaded. this problem should be looked into. *tr | |||
