Tire recommendations for 5th wheel
Does anyone one know if a light truck tire is recommended instead of the tires that come from the factory. I have been told that I should consider a light truck tire.

"You are getting darn close to those G114's weight rating of 4805, if thats what I assume you are running . Where do you go from there ??"
4,805# is the "Rating" that does NOT mean they blow up at 4,806#. I have ZERO concern running close to or even MAX tire rating. That is what they are DESIGNED to do.
My truck didn't blow up now that I am 610# over factory RAWR.
Most of us weigh so we know where we're at in relation weight ratings, and can act accordingly.
610# is NOTHING, I stocked up on something that i hope I don't have need to use and thoroughly enjoy using when I can.
I have well over 11,000# tire capacity so just fine there. When I get back to my home base I will use/remove the overage.
So just so you are happy I will be lightening the load but until then i am perfectly safe. ;)
