Help me understand weights and tire rating.
Picking up a new to me 2014 Open range Roamer 310bhs. The trailer has the factory west lake tires that I will be replacing next spring. I'm confused on the weights. The brochure shows Dry-8945 ...

10400 deducting 1125 pounds of tongue weight leaves 9275 on the trailer axles, divided by 4 equals about 2318 pounds per tire (205/75-15 are good for only 2150 per tire. 225/75-15 are good for 2540 per tire.
It is real close with the 225 tires. Not sure what kind of clearance is on the rig to go larger tires.
Not sure what axles are on the trailer even if the tires were good.
Guess I missed something. I thought the OP said he had the Load range D 2540 rated tires. That being the case the factory did not sell him a TT with under rated tires. I thought he was asking about that.
