Picture can be seen in our profile:
TV--2003 4dr Dodge 3500 2 wheel drive w/5.9 Cummins
5'ver--2000 Terry 30.5 EX series
Actual scaled weights
Steer axle--4,220 lbs.
Drive axle--6,400 lbs.
Trailer axles--8,900 lbs.
Pin weight--2660 lbs.
total gross weight--19,520 lbs.
TV tires: Goodyear Wrangler SR-A LT 235/80R17 load range E
Max load single 3,086 lbs. @ 80 lbs.air pressure
Max load dual 2,835 lbs. @ 80 lbs. air pressure
Trailer tires: Goodyear Wrangler HT LT 215/85RT16 load range E
Max load single 2,680 lbs. @ 80 lbs. air pressure
If you do the math you will see all tires are below their listed
max. load carrying capacity. Trailer is the closest.
To date the TV tires have 53,000+ miles on them. I have rotated
them 3 times & don't plan to replace them until we return home
in the spring. This will include a trip to Quartzsite, AZ.
See you there, Emptypockets
