Just quick calculations.
With 10,200 gross you should have about 1500 lbs pin weight. This leaves you with less than 9,000 on the axles or 4500 each and about 2250 per tire. Any weight capacity above this is just a safety margin.
So it appears I would have to bump up to the 16" tires to exceed those ball park numbers. Thanks.
No. You need to check the weight and max air pressure numbers on the sidewall of each tire your considering. I don't see where 2250 lbs should be a problem with a 15" tire. Don't get a P (passenger) rated tire.
What size axles do you have? There should be a sticker or a alum band on each axle with info.
