The issue with the shuttle. Reality us, that HW SUV IIRC as to what it was, may very well could be certified by an engineer to d that day in and out. While some may say hog wash, reality is, moving said shuttle at 1-3 mph day.in and out has a different spec than towing at 60 mph!
Same with the tires on my bobcat 10.5-16.5 tires in an LR d can Cary 4500 lbs. It if you read the teeny tiny fine print, the limit is 3000 lbs if speeds over 25 mph are ran. Same as a typical truck tire in the same size.
Specs can vary based on usage.
Just as for MY use, the said towing specs are a crock of smelly stuff out the rear of a bull!
How often have you had this Bobcat on two wheels?
I did a good rendition of chubby checkers twist once, does that count?!?!?! On the rear wheels. Never figured out how to do on the fronts only........
Who is this Dr Dwyer?
Some have not read spec books on specing BIG trucks either.

You've never had the front bucket loaded to the point that it gets the rear wheels off the ground? The point I'm trying to make is that a skid steer will overload it's tires on a regular basis. By the size tire you posted you have a smallish sized skid steer probably in the 7-8000# range. Add a 2000-3000 pound load to the bucket and you are overloading tires in a lot of conditions. Have you ever had one blow because of the weight you are applying to it?
