Can of Worms.. LT vs ST 13K trailer
Morning, Will try to keep this as simple as possible. Doing the investigation of new tires. I was completely convinced to go with either Duravis or XPS LT tires . My rig GVWR is 12.7 loaded wit...
Forum Discussion
If my rig has a GVWV of 12,700 why are there only 6k axles?
Because that is all you need. Subtract the pin weight from the GVWR.
Would I be over stressing LT tires with the weight above?
It depends entirely on the weight capacity of the tire. Read the sidewall.
Also concerned with what I have read about 65 mph and overheating on ST's. ST or LT, do not run the tires faster than the max speed on the sidewall. Higher speeds than what the tire is rated for will cause the tire to overheat which will damage the tire.
