Ob: Sorry, I assumed when you described your trailer as a 40' er that it was a 40' model. My previous 36' was actually longer than the 38, we presently own.

I stand by my statements regarding the Michilins and the good fortune you've had using the load tables provided by them. I would hesitate however, to recommend you do the same with this OTHER brand. I have had bad experience so far using their load tables on two different trailers and two different models of their tires while enjoying 2 years of trouble free driving with the Hancooks on the previous trailer.

As Stacy has pointed out and I believe his experience and exposure through his "Weigh It" business gives him greater insight on this particular subject, I will be inflating to max 125 psi and keeping my fingers crossed!

P.S. On edit I checked the weights required to balance the new tire and it took 6 oz devided each side of the rim (front and back side) to acquire balance. I have no idea if this is out of norms.
