I'm not questioning anything that has been stated here however I am curious as to the source of the "facts" as outlined in the posts particularly the post that states that there is NO reserve capacity.
Personally I believe that there must be some kind of built in "reserve" because each tire experiences different loading factors as we motor down the highway. Have you ever hit an expansion joint or other road hazard that caused your trailer to shift onto one side or the other? I would think that this movement would cause a significant load increase on one side thus the need for a "reserve" capacity. Don't shoot .... I'm just thinking.
