Dumb question: an overloaded tire runs hot, right? Conversely, if a tire does not run hot, then it's not overloaded?
I have a bit of a dilemma on my camper. According to the manual, it requires Load Range C tires (IIRC). I used Load Range B instead (cheapo HF ones). Only thing is, the camper came from the factory with this type of tires! Which is why I put the wrong tires on (didn't read the manual).
Now, I've put 1,500miles onto this trailer, much of it at 70mph (yes, I know, too fast). Whenever I stop the tires are asphalt temperature. They do not warm up. I'm thinking I don't need to worry about this, other than to make sure the tires stay aired up, have tread and aren't cracked.
