Is it safe? I would be towing abut 4500lbs icluding trailer. Who's doing it?

 

I'm towing with 22" OZ Canyons with absolutely no problems.

(Aluminum trailer with roughly a 2500lb car on it)



I don't have air suspension but am running H&R Springs. Car remains pretty level even under full load.

 

What do you do about potholes, when i'm driving i always slowdown alot pver them or avoid them altogether, but with a trailer you cant just stop quickly or swerve out of the way?

 

I guess I've been lucky. Most of my race car towing is on the highway, and I really take my time on regular streets.

I see that you're down here in S. Florida as well (I'm in Boca) so our roads are not that bad (compared to many other places out there).

Drive extra carefully when towing and you'll be fine.

(the only scarry exprience I've had was on my way to Sebring around Lake Okeechobee. There weren't many holes but the road was very bumpy and uneven. I could swear the trailer caught air at one point. Lets just say I don't take that route anymore)

 

I used to tow my race car with 22" Techarts, no issues here, I do have Air suspension which made for a softer ride.

 

As long as the grosss axle weight of the weight of the vehicle combined with the tongue weight of the trailer don't exceed the load capacity of the wheel I don't see a problem.

 

How do i figure out the load capacity of the wheel, is it by the rim or the tire? I am running 22 inch techarts with pirelli scorpion zero 295/30/22.

 

Also, what psi would you fill the tires to? BTW thanks for the help guys

 

well those 295/30's have a load cap of 1929lbs... that's 3800 per axle. Assuming the 5000 pound cayenne has a few passengers and bags onboard call it 5600 pounds, and a tongue weight of?? 300 pounds?? So you've basically got about 2800 pounds on the rear axle, 300 more with the tongue. Call it 3200 pounds?? You're clear by 600 pounds. 285/35 would be better but 295/30 is still ok. You'd probably have to run norht of 40 psi though...

 

i did with mine- zero issues.... here is my neighbor's setup

 

kdub- wat boat is that, i'm gonna be towing a mastercraft X2

 

i took my boat out >10 times with mine- it weighs more than his and I had NO issues at all

 

The load capacity of the wheel is 2090 lbs each, and the tire is 1929 lbs each at max inflation. I doubt the weight baring down on the setup exceeds 4200 lbs. Add GAWR of the back axle + the tongue weight of the boat.
