I did not expect such debate. Wow!
So let me get this straight.
1. I have 6k lb axles/12, 000 lbs total
2. My OE tires were rated at 3, 520 lbs each/14, 080 lbs
3. LT tires are rated at 3, 050 lbs if I can remmber right / 12, 200 lbs
4. Pin weight I am not exactly sure, but im guessing around 2, 200 lbs. I did not see that stat on the sticker with the other info.
From the numbers alone:
1. I feel a possible concern with the weight rating of the LT tires. I will be at the extreme upper limit with load capacity of these tires. As compared to the OE ST tires. Another question, are the LT tires overloaded when seperated from my truck, no weight on the pin?
2. Has anyone ever had a bad experience with an LT tire on a trailer?
Of course someone will not like this reference because of the individual manufacturer. But, I'll post others if necessary. Also remember that all DOT certified tires for vehicles under and over 10,000 lbs are governed by the same regulations.
