PWC trailer tires - load rating - just blew out a tire...

[surfcitypops]

I just blew out a tire on my double trailer and want to replace all three (including spare) since they are 8 years old and dry. I have two GTX's, 2006 and 2007. What do these things weigh when loaded with fuel? What does the trailer weigh? Tire guy wants to sell me tires rated as C rated, which can carry up to 1350lbs each tire. Do I need to step up to a D Loaded tire that is rated at 1600lbs each?

They will weight about 850-900+ lbs each.
Remember the trailer capacity also includes the weight of the trailer....so if the trailer capacity is 2500 lbs and each ski is 850 that's 1700 already....add gas, oil other stuff then add the weight of the trailer to that number.

Also just because the tires are rated for higher weight....That won't help.....check the tag on the trailer to be sure of its capacity.....bigger tires won't increase that number.
