Was your blow out a steer or drive tire? You had DRW?
I have the weight, hence the question. Mainly concerned about the fronts as that axel is more lightly loaded per tire than the rear tires.
Rear SRW was just unter the tire load limit at the time.
A TC is only going to load the rears. so yes I have overkill capacity on the front but per the inflation tables 80-85 psi on the 19.5 matches the load as does 105 on the rears. My biggest issue with being near load capacity on a tire is that there is no margin for dealing with sudden road hazards such as debris, potholes frost wedges dramatically altering the tire stress in milliseconds. Now with an extra 500 to 800 pounds of available load due to the 19.5 the possibility of sudden failure seems more remote.
