Marty how can he be "LEGAL" if he is over his tire capacity of just under 6,400# ???
Easy... Federal bridge weight limits are based upon the width of the tire, not the rating given by a tire manufacturer. Technically there is no traffic charge for exceeding the weight recommendation by a tire manufacturer, but there is a charge for exceeding the Federal bridge weight limits. Even with that... that is a DOT requirement that wouldn't be applicable to the average consumer RV driver.
LEGAL doesn't mean safe though. I would NEVER EVER exceed my tire weight rating, my axle rating or my registered weight. You can "legally" exceed your tire or axle rating, but its not very smart. You cannot legally exceed your registered weight, although the punishment varies state by state.
