Default Hot Trailer Tires

I'd say that's it. If they were radials they would run cooler, but I
don't think you'll have any problems

WOW, same post as screamandfly... How old are the tires? But, yes they can
get hot.

I have an 18' Tri-Hull sitting on a single axle trailer. After driving
about 30 miles today, I noticed that both tires were quite hot. The

hubs
and rims were cool, though. Tires have proper pressure, and bearings

were
recently packed with high-temp grease. Am I missing something, or is

this
normal?





Tires aren't that old, but they are bias-ply Carlisles.
