tires overloaded
quick check no tools required
air tires to correct cold pressure
drive 10 miles (in your case 5) check air
if the pressure has built up by more than 10%
then you are in deep *&%$ ie start @45psi cold
after 10 miles (5 in your case) pressure is more than 49psi then you have overloaded the tire...
looking at the trailer the weight of the 6x6
rear axles is about 7 to 8 feet from the axle
so 1000 lbs at 7 feet from the center of the axle is like 7,000 on the axle
ps: Digger's trailer did just fine hauling my 48 from Las Vegas to Jerome - thanks digger
it is a nice trailer perhaps the 6x6 should have been in front
