could be worse, a local outlet for a trailer manufacturer here puts what looks like used tires on new trailers.... nothing like spending 3 grand on a new trailer and needing tires in 6 months

They do that a lot here in Indiana. Used car tires on a lot of new car trailers.

Funny, we were just talking about used tires on trailers
My trailer was powder coated, top and bottom.

So on the topic of towing...
I had someone give me 4 straps and I want to know if I can use them for securing the Jeep to the trailer.
They are rated at 10K break rating and 3300lb work load. Is this legal?
I've hauled a lot of flat bed products thru my youth but always with chains and when I used straps they were 6" wide and a much higher rating.

Yes, that sounds normal for tie down straps.

I use the same rate strap setup. I have not had a problem with them or the law. Two in the front and two in the back.

I always make sure that the working load of 3 straps is better than the weight of what I'm towing, just in case one of them breaks.
With 3300 straps, you're still at 9900 lbs with 3. It would be a little more concerning if you had 2000 lbs straps, then you'd be at 6k for 3.
That's probably not very scientific, but it's what goes through my head. That's how we calculate how many straps we need for a piece of gear inside the aircraft.

They don't give trailer tires away...but I may have found a diamond in the rough...now if I can just get them before next Wednesday.
This is a really great price....
Now multiply x6
I'm tired of E rated tires blowing out and not lasting. I'm going for the G-spot...
By contrast the Goodyears of the same flavor are... $360 ea!

They might not like doing 75mph?

Dude those are SUMMER tires.

what does this mean?
probably 65 to 70 with this trailer.
I called a local place to order them without hopefully paying shipping and after I told them what I was doing they didn't seem to make a big deal about summer tires...if they even saw that.

I have no idea, but your asking for trouble coming to Winterfest with summer tires.
Maxxis makes summer tires too.

Boss came back from lunch and set this on my desk... Said he thought it would be cool in the Jeep.
Guess Menards has them for $10 and he couldn't pass it up!

I tried two local places to get the Gladiator tires from. Both were $40! higher on each tire after I figured in taxes and shipping than the online place. I try to keep my business local, but man that's almost the cost of an extra tire.
Should be here on Monday or Tuesday...get them mounted on Tuesday or Wednesday...to leave Wednesday...

Just rode my bicycle a mile. I feel like I could die. I really got out of shape. I am a marshmallow.

My trailer tires are overinflated when I'm towing. The wear is all in the middle.
