I think everybody is missing the point of my question. I plan on running 385's on my spread axle trailer. Being that I know how to properly load...
I'm not intending to go over the rating of the tires, axles or suspension. Even though 385/65R 22.5 are rated to carry 9,920 pounds each or 19,840...
Is anybody here running over the road with 385/65R 22.5 in place of dual tires on their spread axle trailer? I realize the 445/50R 22.5 tires are...

Why would one want to brake going up a hill? As long as the weather is good and the coast is clear, let her roll! No, actually, I don't condone...
