I have planned around the ~23.2" loaded height. Other design factors require that I keep the diameter around this value.
I can't find any resistance data on these tires.
The super low crr bridgestone b381's are available in a 185/70R14 with a similar diameter and a 1200 pound capacity.
The trailer's planned load values are closer to 900 pounds per tire, about a 10% cushion below axle rating.
So this tire is slightly wider, but has a lower aspect ratio. Any thoughts? Are trailer tires low crr to begin with?
