    Tire Ratings

    Are there any specific tire ratings I need for towing on my K1500 Silverado?

    Or with the stock tires be fine?

    I tow a 20ft Triton. Thanks!

    Stock are fine. The tongue weight doesn't make a hug e difference on the truck.

    Ok, well what about tires for the actual boat trailer?

    I'm not sure where the best place to get these would be. It's not like I can drop my boat off for the day, then when they get ready they drive it into the bay and jack it up. How does this work, and what kind of place would you guys recommend getting tires from?

    It can depend on the number of axles on the trailer. For a single axle, you have to go with ST or LT tires that are rated for the weight. Passenger car tires are a problem on a single axle trailer.

    For a tandem, you can probably get away with car tires, but I still use ST tires on my trailer.

    I've always just taken mine off and taken them to the shop two at a time for replacement.
