A bit of Chicken-Little here IMO. I just finished a 4700 mile 3-week cruise from eastern Iowa to northern California with both interstates and VERY twisty mountain roads and 8% grades.

Your Tundra might have shipped with P rated tires?
The 1500 Megacab is a 3/4 ton truck. It has 3/4 ton axles, suspension, brakes and frame. Granted, the rear axle is the slightly lighter duty 3/4 ton version. No way this truck should be running light duty tires or wheels. If money is an issue look for factory take offs.
