Calling BS on that one...once you get in the higher load ranges... that hold 50psi and above...the tires are very time sensitive...if you have one 5 years old...you better start looking to replace...
They will blow out with no signs of dry-rot, and at very low mileage...because of all the pressure they are holding...

Whatever you end up with, check the tires. If new, will probably have medium rated cheap Chinese tires, and there's been photos on this and other forums of how much damage they can do if they come apart. I put Goodyear Endurance trailer tires (American made) on mine, on new rims, keep two originals for spares I hope I never have to use. Even for a single axle open bed trailer, not a bad idea to have a spare wheel anyway.
great advise !!!

From a 35 year truck driver, get at least a 7x14 V nose 6' high with tandem axles with that axle buddy self greasing system. E track is nice but not necessary, it does add to the weight...and make sure its bolted to the frame, not just screwed to the floor. You'll be a happy camper.

I'm retiring soon and would like to trailer my bike down south in the winter time. I'm looking to haul 2 baggers. Any information you could give me would be greatly appreciated. Need to know stuff like width,length, single axle, double axle, and so on. Plus any other info you think would be hopeful.
Thanks Jonnierock

I purchased the basic 7x14 vnose tandem cargo trailer. Immediately found when time to install floor rings the flooring was not up to my liking. Ended up putting down another layer of 3/4 sheathing and bolted tie down rings to the frame. Finished the interior walls, paint and all good to go. After that I was into for less than 4 grand.
