In trailer application, especially multi-axle trailers, the side slip that occurs in every turn or corner results in much higher shear force that it trying to tear the belts apart.
I cover this in detail, with videos and the Engineering details for those who don't want to accept the word of a retired Tire Design and Quality Engineer.
Trailers should run the inflation molded on the tire sidewall. ALSO you need to confirm the actual tire load at its heaviest is no more than 85% of the ststed tire MAX LOAD.
Check my blog for the posts on "InterplyShear" or just GOOGLE the term.
Peer reviewed published papers are available if need be
.
Or just do what I tell you "Because I said So"
