Check the 'Load Rating' on the sidewall....Max Load XXXX# at 80 PSI

If 17" then max load is probably 3195/ea----6390 total
If 18" then max load is probably 3415/ea----6830 total

You are running those front tires at max psi...correct??
Underinflated ruins tires faster then anything else

Max load is rated at 65 psi.
Read another thread that says i should be running a 55psi
Per the chart

From the chart from the tire manufacturer site.
But the side of the tire says 3145lb

I cant figure out how my pin weight is as high as it is.

It seems like that is the biggest issue, but I am not sure

You have 6290 lbs per axle of tire rating and your under that. Myself i would quit trying to fix something that isn’t broken and enjoy life.

NevadaNick, I think your right. That calculator keeps telling me I overweight on the trailer, but I just don't see it. Maybe a bit on the pin weight, but my hitch is rated for 4000lb. Its a Curt Q16 slider (Which is now called a A16)
Seems to tow just fine. Better that my 05 GMC did anyway.

Just need to get out and live
Thanks All!
