Are any of you towing a 12,000 or heavier trailer using the GM stock wheels and 245/75/16 tires? Any problems related to these narrow rimmed tires?

I have an '02 D'max that I bought with 265's on it, and have continued to put them on since. I picked up about 900 lbs' tire capacity, which puts me just over the RAWR on my tires. I can live with it... :-)

245/75-16 have 3,042# capacity

265/75-16 have 3,415 capacity

This is a difference of 373# per tire for 746# extra capacity on the rear axle.
