My 2011 Edge M21 has 4 Towmax 14" "C" rated tires on its dual axles, Total load capacity of 6800 lbs, the Max loaded weight of the trailer is 4500 pounds. It appears to have the original TowMax tires on it, they have plenty of tread.
1. Should I replace with another set of "C" rated tires when its time to replace, or would it make sense to buy the same size but "D" rated next time, they cost about 20 percent more than "C" rated.
2. The lug nuts are all torqued at leat to spec, I checked them myself.
3. I ran my hands around in and out sidewalls of all 4 tires and feel no bulges or other anything else strange. The tread does not seem to have any obvious abnormalities either.
4. I put 50 lbs in all 4 tires when cool and have rechecked 5 days later and all are holding the pressure.
5. The RV dealer delivery tech that repacked all the wheel bearings before delivery says they were fine but he also delivered the trailer to me with on 30 lbs of air in each tire when the trailer sticker and tire sidewalls clearly say 50 lbs so am taking his statements with a grain of salt. Also have no clue if or how many curbs the original owner drove these over before I got it.
Anything else I should be doing please ?
