My fiver has steel wheels and it is on a label on the inside of the rim, meaning you have to dismount the tire to find it. I noticed it when I had new tires put on last year. They are 110psi rated on 5080# axles. Go figure.

Guess I completely over looked the above...sorry about that....so your axles are rated at 5080# and with a 110psi rating, might guess you have "G" rated tires on the 5er...same as I have on mine and my axles are rated at 7,000#.... 6.5" wide rims for the GY G614's rated to 110 psi...just as an example.

Sorry, they do not have G's on it. I was very surprised to see the label on them when I had new tires put on last year. I currently have Firestone transforce LT's. The Montana has a gvw of 12,100#. Believe it or not, but it came with made in USA LT's back in '05. From what I read here they do not put those type tires on these 5er's anymore.

Pretty good deal on OEM tires you had on your 5er.....My bad though, I got you confused with the OP, sorry about that.....but sounds like back in 05', a manufacturer actually went "above and beyond" and put decent tires on a unit:)
