Drag Radial Stress Test

Went to pick up a load of tile my wife bought. Like a dumba$$ I forgot to air up my back tires. I usually keep the 555R's at 28 psi but with this heat they were probably at 30 psi.

The load turned out heavier than I thought it would be. Try 1860 lbs. I didn't have far to drive and I drove slow.

When I got home I weighted one box of tiles. It weighted 35 lbs. x 46 boxes = 1610 lbs. The 5 bags of mortar weighed 50 lbs each =250 lbs. Total of 1860 lbs and we won't even mention the pallet.

This thing will haul more than a$$.
