I don't know about anyone else, but I weighed mine. Seemed like the easiest way. I have the Shurline scale rated to 5,000 lbs. and weighed each wheel.

Did they all weigh the same? I imagine they did not?

They did not, although they were more even than I had expected. I had 4 that weighed 2,000 lbs., and 2 that weighed 2,500 lbs. The heavier 2 were on opposite sides and not on the same axle.

I seriously considered going with "E" rated LT tires after I found out what my weights were. However I kept getting advice that I was not supposed to have any tire that was rated less than the OEM tires. Which, of course, were the "E" rated ST tires which self-destructed after less than 2 years. But with my weights/tire and the carrying capacity of 3,000 lbs./tire I would have been fine I think. However the Sailuns have been great and I have no complaints whatsoever. Maybe a bit of a rough ride, but I'm not even positive about that.

Good Info. I applaud you for being very thorough.
The weights are more consistent than I imagined. Nevertheless if you are airing tires based on weight you are faced with airing tires to different pressures.
Individualized tire pressures is more than I care to deal with.
I'll stick with airing tires to max. pressure.
Thanks for the data, it does confirm my suspicion that the tires are ALL not carrying equal weight.
