"Jerry, the Fuzion came with 235/85-16, E-rated ST tires. Which were, I believe, rated for around 3,480 lbs., so the original tires were rated for about 21,000 lbs., still over the GVWR, and waaaay over my actual weight of 15,000 lbs. I actually considered going to LT tires when I had to replace those lousy ST tires. But the Sailun tires were cheaper than any of the other LT tires at the time.
I ran the OEM ST tires at 80 psi, max sidewall recommended pressure, and they failed in less than 2 years and 6,000 miles. The sidewalls were like tissue paper, they were so flimsy."
Thanks Howard! Having that extra axle sure changes capacity, and maybe lighter pin. Seems lots of changes in the RV tire world, some good, some bad.
Hope you are enjoying the new TH!
