I have 7k axles with 8 lug wheels.
I don't understand how having 7k axles matters. It just means they can handle that much weight correct? It doesn't mean the tires also have to handle that much weight does it?
That is, as long as I am only carrying 5.5k on each axle, the tires on that axle also only need to be able to carry 5.5k correct?
Or what am I missing?
Tires should meet or exceed the GAWR on the placard. That is the law on new construction and you should follow that to insure that you or another owner has the correct tires installed.
