On the trailer sticker what does it say for the axle ratings and what is the GVW of the trailer.


What size for the tires is on the sticker as well?

With 15 inch rims you are somewhat limited.


ST e rated tires is about it.


Go with a 16 inch rim and you can upgrade to Lt E rated tires from several of the big American names.

It at least appears that you have enough axles so that you won't be over on any one axle.
