U don't know the stock weight of either but will find out, though. .

Is the trailer tandem axle?


Yessir, it is. And I wish I could put 15 inchers on it, but that
woudl probably make the whole rig sit too high.


What's the amtter with using car tires any how? I had a '74 Caddy
Sedan DeVille Brogham which weighed about 5800lb, and it had car
tires.

What's so magic about trailer tires anyhow?


You'd peel car tires right off the rim with a tandom trailer. The
sidewalls are too flexible.
