Question:

What is the optimum tire size for hauling a 400 lb. motorcycle on a 5x8 trailer 12 or 15 in tires ??

Will the tire size affect the ride ? I am trying to reduce the bounce factor due to the fact that I will be hauling a lighter motorcycle. Thank You.

Answer:

no they do not have to be on the car
the bigger the tire diameter the better the ride
get the 15 inch cause the tires will last alot longer and do not fill the tires to the maximum pressure just around 25 to 28 PSi if it still bounce just let out a little more air at a time till it stops bouncing the lowest u can go is around 20 at highway speeds , but it is possible to go low as 10 if driving less than 46 MPH
