What does 120 load index mean on tires?

Light truck tires have two load indexes on the sidewall of the tire, unlike passenger tires, which only have one. For example, a light truck tire with a load index of 120/116 means a load capacity for a single tire of 3,086 pounds and a load capacity of 2,756 pounds for two tires.

Should I inflate my trailer tires to max psi?

Maintaining Proper Air Pressure A trailer tire should be inflated to the maximum inflation designated on the sidewall of the tire to provide the full load carrying capacity. The best time to check the air pressure is when the tire is cool to the touch, and not right after the tire was in operation.

Why do trailer tires wear out so fast?

Are Bigger tires better for trailers?

You can add larger wheels and tires to a trailer as long as you have enough room for the larger size. Larger tires will typically have a higher weight rating. Tires with a higher weight rating will not increase the load carrying capacity of the trailer, so you will still be limited to the weight capacity of the axle.
