Why would you think I need a link to my rig.......I ordered it, I bought it and have lived in it for 7 yrs :S
Besides Goodyear sells/recommends those LTs for use on 5th wheels and trailers.
Ain't got nothing to do with NuWa
You opened the door without giving axle ratings.
The vehicle manufacturer has EVERYTHING to do with OE tire and rim selections. They are the only ones that can make that choice. Than, you as the owner, are supposed to follow suit.
What GY tires are you talking about that are recommended for trailer service? Marathons? G615 RST?
In FMCSA 571.139 the LT tire is defined by the statement below.
“Light truck (LT) tire means a tire designated by its manufacturer as primarily intended for use on lightweight trucks or multipurpose passenger vehicles.”
We all know that ST tires cannot serve on those vehicles. So, unless a vehicle manufacturer makes the decision to use LT tires on RV trailer axles and certify their usage in that position there use there is not authorized.
