I have never weighed it. LOL I know I know, shameful.

It's a montana 2880rl. 12340 gross on the sticker. It's not a behemoth by any stretch but behemoths dont come with 15" tires either. They are sized ok, I am guessing 500 pounds reserve carrying capacity per tire or there abouts. They never get hot, just warm. I run light on purpose (to save the tires) and I run 65mph with the occasional 70 when passing (one of you guys LOL). And they never lose air pressure, not even a pound. First time I have ever seen that on any tire that I have ever had in the past.

By the way I saw a 5th the other day that had 3 axles and all dually's. Now he had reserve carrying capacity to be sure.man I had instant suspension envy looking at that.

Edit: even though 2 of us have had good results, and I havent come across a failure report for the RH's as of yet (thats promising in itself). I would still say it's a very small data set and not to infer anything other than nothing has happened. Your mileage may vary.

And the point I make is that the Goodyear Marathon added the Nylon overlay years ago and they still fail at a fair rate. So that alone MAY not be the solution. I know that the Maxxis has the overlay, however they are a much heavier tire size for size, so they have something in their construction that is more that just an overlay of some Nylon cords.

Only time will tell and getting a lot of them in use to produce a decent sample. The manufacturers will not talk about failure rates, so we have to depend on forums like this to provide some feedback.

We have no idea whether they just added the Nylon overlay or added other improvements in the compounds, construction, etc. Again tire weight doesn't transfer in to reliability. This has been discussed before on this board. And has been proven by the new Carlisle tires proven reliable thus far even though the weight is less than the "Mx" brand.
