Default Tires

Quick question, Can i run truck tires on a dual axle boat trailer without any problems? The boat weighs in at 5700 lbs dry.

Sure, just make sure you got a little overboard on the load rating of the tires. One thing that makes a tire a ST tire is the ability to live it’s whole life at, or near, the max load limit. An LT tire is not subjected to the same testing. Just give yourself some extra headroom and you’ll be fine.
