Overweight Toyhauler Dilemma!!
We finally got around to weighing our toyhauler and it confirmed that we are indeed overweight. The scale says we weigh 14,660 lbs. total with all of our belongings on board. The trailer is a 2010 K...

Interesting, I would have thought a Sep 09 brochure was the MY2010 brochure.
I don't think you need new wheels, those 16's should be rated for at least 3400lbs, and possibly 3750. The Maxxis may not be the best tire, but it is rated at 3450lbs, more than enough. A good 235/80/16 will be enough.
If you are upgrading wheels thou I would go with 17.5" ones and LRF or LRG tires.
Get it weighed so you know if you are working the suspension/axles too hard or not.
The wheels are rated at 3200 lbs. apiece, but the max psi is 85 which is going to limit us on upgrading tires. The Maxxis tires have a max load of 3420. Also, it looks like the bore size for the wheel is going to limit us on what heavier duty wheel we can get, so now it looks like we might as well do axles to get the smaller bore hub so we can get a 17.5" wheel, so we can get a higher rated tire! I feel like I'm running in circles on this!
