Only concerns I have is over weight on my Michelin LT275/70R18 tire rate , truck I believe should be able to handle the rig after removing most of the water.
The Michelins are nice tires but I also upgraded from them to 19.5" wheels before I had any potential trouble. With my TC plus trailer tongue weight, it was too close to the margins to rely on them over a long distance. I have since done a 2500 mile SoCal trip and 4500 mile trip to the Mississippi River without problems loads at 11,500 lbs GVW and 19,000 lbs GCW. Speeds were between 55-65 mph and up to 500 miles per day.
