donn0128 - Hey, I was 18 years old. Give me credit for even asking the foreman if I was going to fall through the fourth floor onto the third floor.
The load ratings of the floor were painted everywhere, so I figured it was kind of important.
The tires on my truck are LT265/70R 17. If I am correctly reading the fine print for a SRW application, the number is 3,195 pounds at 80 psi.
So I would not think tires will be the weak link if I graduated to a 16,000 pound fiver, or so, and just eased it down the road.
Based on everything I have read on this forum, at 17,000 pounds a person should skip the math exercise and just make the dually commitment. I have no problem with that logic either.
