Me, I'd go with trailer

probably never need that capacity but I believe in insurance :-).


Me, I'd go with the greater rating on the 3500lb axle. A chuck-hole can
put an _amazing_ amount of stress on a tire. Better safe than sorry, and
you're not talking a lot of money for the difference.

It's that same chuck-hole that has my teeth chattering when I think of
a sub-80 series tire on the trailer. I'd prefer a taller profile.
I've run over mufflers which just fell off the truck in front of me,
and that's pants-browning scary when you're hauling a trailer, lemme
tell ya.

My scariest freeway story is when the driveshaft from the truck in
front of me came loose and the cross of the U-joint hit my windshield
at head level, directly in line with my nose. I had 1/10th of a
second to even attempt ducking. Thankfully, it just chipped the glass
instead of bursting through the windshield at me. When it hit, it
sounded like an M-80 going off.

Hit a range bull at 3am in Nevada in the middle of the hiway during a
snowstorm.

Kinda fills the front seat of a F350 pickup.
