2 years, 31' montana with 3 slides, maybe 12000 pounds. I estimate around 15% headroom in capacity. If your "bigger 5th came with tires that are marginally sized for the load, it's not the tires fault. It's yours for trying to pull with them.

My use is one of the worst as I make a run (try to average 63 but wont hesitate to hit 75 passing) and then sit there for 4 to 6 months and then come back. Not one of the tires has ever lost a single pound of air pressure in all of this time.
It's not that I am saying ST tires are ok or safe or anything. there are plenty of bad tires out there including Michelins recently recalled LT tires. I am saying Carlisle Radial ST's have served me well. your imagination may vary.
