Need to throw in a caution about trailer tires. Next to none are rated for above 65-mph (unless in the fine print accoriding to several conditions met). An upgrade to a decent tire/wheel size and best quality brand is highly recommended for any trailer of any sort. I would not want to put Mile One on an HF trailer with original, as-purchased tires.
Weigh the trailer, with as close to travel condition load as possible. Weigh across axle, and weigh each separately on a public scale. One wants to see -- in worst loading -- 15% "reserve" in loading. IOW, a tire rated at 1,840-lbs ought to have on it no more than 1,564-lbs.
All posts by tire engineer CapriRacer are to this end. An HF trailer, for example, has the most minimal tires possible . . and an expectation that it is hauling a riding mower twice a year for service. Across town, not the kind of miles some of you are contemplating.
