I have the Sailuns S637s in 16" on my Raptor which has the same GVWR as your Carbon. Combined all 6 tires gives me a 24,480lb weight capability, ea tire has a 4080lb rating. With that being said, that in my opinion is plenty of cushion against overloading the tires. No need for 17.5s.
Thanks for the response, I appreciate it!!
Again though, my concern isn't really with overloading the tires as even with a generic 'E' tire I've got the rated capacity; I'm really wondering about the overall durability and potential longevity of a 16" vs. a 17.5" given heavy loads, tight turns, terrible roads, etc etc. I guess I'm just a little gun shy about simply upgrading tires based on our last experience with several sets of "
high quality" 15" tires on our previous toy hauler.
Thanks again for everyone chiming in!!
