My Mobile Suites has a pin weight of 4400#. That is rather much for 2 E rated tires.
This depends upon the size of the tire! 4400 plus the wt of my old trucks RA when empty was 2200, so a total of 6600 maybe 7000 max on those two rear tires......probably a few LR E rated tires that can handle that amount. I can think of some LR F and G rated tires that will also handle that amount, along with more wt than typical pickup duals will handle!
Remember folks, make a single response post, someone may have a way to make it work! altho like in my case and examples, not stock options, but options none the less! If one can get tires rated to 10,500 lbs like a number of clss 8 trucks and trailers are using, single tires can be found to do what duals will do! one of these tires will carry more than or equal to some of our dual setups! Equal to the 4 215-85-16 LR E tires on my dually! My two 245-70-19.5 tires on the front of my navistar are good to around 11K lbs. So a few single tire set ups that will carry a 4400 lbs pin wt pretty easy!
