So my 2006 Cardinal dry weight 11,500 came with 16 inch load G Chinese tire and after about three years with no issues changed to the load G Goodyear G-614's.

This new 5er comes with load E, and if I'm not mistaken, Tow Max ST tires. I really feel more comfortable with the load G tires! While at the dealer I looked at the tires on the new Grand Design Solitude and found once agIn load E.... My new 5er is dry 13.400, think it needs more than the E's

So you have a 5 slide trailer with 16,000 GVWR. Take 3200 for 20% pin weight and you have 12800 on the axles. If the tires are rated to 3420 you only have 220 extra capacity per tire. Unloaded it only has around 18% pin weight, so it could be even worse than I noted above!

This is a trailer screaming for LRG tires. It is a classic kick it out to door with tires to get it to the dealer and into a buyer's hands, and let them deal with the cheap tire issues!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
