Blown tire results in head on collision

Let’s be real. They said that was the cause of the crash. But it could have been anything else that might have been over looked. Health issue, fell asleep, lost control, etc.

 

Many run a smaller diameter tire on the steer. Turns faster which equals more heat, then factor in 13000 to 14000 lbs avg on the steer.

 

Yes even though they are smaller they are more plys. The go to for some now is a 295/65/22.5. Pretty sure they are 18 ply rated at just over 7000 lbs per tire single. Car hauling you are always fighting height and weight in some cases. I personally run a standard low pro 22.5 on my steer but is 16 ply. Good for 7100 per tire single.
