I BOUGHT A 2007 CHEROKEE WOLFPACK 23WP IN OCTOBER 2006. I WAS LOOKING FOR TIRE COVERS. ON THE FRONT LEFT SIDE OF THE TRAILER, THERE ARE TWO STICKERS WHICH BOTH SAY THE TIRE SIZE IS AN ST235/80R16/D. THE TIRES ON THE TRAILER ARE AN ST225/75R15/D. THE STICKER ON THE TRAILER STATES THE GVWR OF 11,615 LBS. THERE IS ALSO A STICKER INSIDE THE CABINET ABOVE THE SINK WHICH ALSO STATES THE GVWR OF 11,615 LBS, AND THE EMPTY WEIGHT OF THE TRAILER IS 7582 LBS. THE TIRES ARE A KARRIER LOAD STAR BRAND. I FOUND THE INFORMATION ON EASTERNMARINE.COM. IT STATES THE MAXIMUM CARRYING CAPACITY OF THE ST225/75R15/D IS 2,540 LBS @ 65 PSI. THE MAXIMUM CARRYING CAPACITY OF THE ST235/80R16/D IS 3,000 LBS @ 65 PSI.
TIRES ARE ON A NEW ENCLOSED CARGOMATE, BY FOREST RIVER CAR TRAILER. IN SEVEN MONTHS OF USE I HAVE HAD 14 CARLISLE TIRE FAILURES. HALF WERE BLOW-OUTS AND THE OTHERS THE TREAD SEPARATED, WHICH LEAD TO BLOW-OUTS. THE TRAILER IS UNDER GVWR LOADED. TIRE PRESSURE CHECKED WEEKLY. CARLISLE REPLACED ONE SET OF SIX TIRES WITH A HIGHER LOAD RANGE, THESE WERE THE TIRES THAT THE TREAD SEPARATED A COUPLE STILL HOLD AIR, BUT DON'T HAVE ANY TREAD AT ALL. I HAVE SENT 6 TIRES TO CARLISLE FOR INSPECTION. NOW I AM WAITING TO SEE WHAT CARLISLE TIRE AND WHEEL IS GOING TO DO ABOUT THE 7 TIRES. THE SIX AND ONE SPARE. *TR
