Tire dilemma
I have a 31' Coachmen Freelander. It has one slide on the driver's side. I purchased 6 LT225/75R16 Goodyear 947 RSS load range E tires three years ago and have been really happy with them.
In October, I had a mobile weigh station weigh each tire individually and found out that my front driver side tire load is 2,850, while the tire is rated for 2,680, 170 pounds over the tire's rating.
Passenger front tire has 2,200 pounds on the tire, so that's OK.
After a through going over to see where the weight is coming from it has to be the slideout. I have almost nothing else in the left front of the rig that would add that much weight.
I've been trying to find a load range G tire, but none will fit the 6" wheel I now have. I just want to replace the front tires since the others are still fairly new and are in the approved weight range for them.
So I guess my questions are:
Should I be concerned about being 170 pounds over?
How do I get load range G tires on the front? New wheels?
I'm looking at Michelin XPS RIB, Goodyear 947, Wrangler SilentArmor. I'm not concerned about price.
