Any benefit to upsizing my tires/wheels?
I know that there is always a tire debate happening so maybe this will lighten the mood :) I bought a new TT... small fella at 17 ft (21 ft with the tongue). For reference it's a clipper/viking 17B...

They are 185/80R13s (Westlake)
For what it's worth here's the wording that is on the tires:
MAX LOAD SINGLE 1710 LBS at 65 PSI
MAX LOAD DUAL 1620 LBS at 65 PSI
What I don't understand is if the single/dual is talking about axles but that seems like the way it would be. So if they're rated at 1710 per tire since it's single axle that would rate it to 3420, would it not?
(An example replacement that came up on etrailer from a google search shows a Kenda tire that is also rated for D which lists 1725 LBS at 65 PSI: http://www.etrailer.com/Tires-and-Wheels/Kenda/AM1ST79.html)
