I have heard of people finding tires with a higher load range than my stock tires. I have 265/70 R18. They are load range e with 3525 max load at 80 psi. I would appreciate anybody that actually knows where tires the same size with a higher max load can be found. I have looked and have not found anything. With my truck camper on and wet I am just about at my limits on the rear tires. Would love to find some tires with a little more wiggle room if possible.

Thanks

Sounds like BandAids! If you are that much weight and sounds like going over tire rating is a possibility then you should consider getting a dually.

No I am not actually going over my tire weights. I also drive conservatively keeping my speed under 60. The unit handles well with no mods. Even when I haul my boat I am not over as long as I travel dry. I was just looking for a tire with a little more capacity. I will say SRW Chevy after 2010, mine is a 2011 3500, with the frame change and suspension upgrades hauls almost exactly what a chevy dually 2010 and prior does.

So anyway no dually for me. Nothing against them and if I were to go with a slide camper I would have one. But I am fine with what I have.
