Should I be concerned? (tire question)
Our Jayco came factory with Duro 185/80D13 bias tires rated at 1660 lbs at 65 PSI. I recently purchased 185/80R13 Load C Maxxis M8008 Radial tires rated at 1480 at 50 PSI. Should I be concerned?

You will be fine!
Yes, the GVWR of the rig is 4,750 BUT you have 4 tires... so 4 x 1480 = 5920, you have more than enough tires to carry your fully loaded trailer even though they are not rated as highly as the bias ply that came from OEM. To be safe, next time you are out traveling with the trailer loaded, gas up at a Pilot or Loves and take a qucik trip across the scales to see what your TT tires are carrying.
