I have a 16 ft Big Tex trailer. The axles were a tube, connection the wheels. It didn't take much weight to see the tube bend. I had a pair of axles made with a solid bar, much stronger than the original axles. They may be mobile home axles. I don't know for sure. They have 14x5 6 lug solid wheels makes me think they are. I have had them on my trailer for around 15 years. I can still get 14.5 trailer tires. my question is what's the difference between mobile home tires, and standard trailer tires? I see them on the internet with a load range of G, so they must be able to hold the weight. I use my trailer for hauling my tractors locally. No long distance hauling. Any thoughts? Stan
