Good Tires
Need some input. I currently have Michelin LTX MS/2, 245-75R-16, max load 3042. I'm 3-4 hundred lbs overweight when I camper up. Is there a better tire to use?:@

K Charles, Im new to the Truck Camper world and not sure what you meant by tires/or truck. Below are my numbers of weights, along with the tire info above. According to my calculations, I'm 954 overweight. If I tow my boat, add 250 more tongue weight.
Bottom line, am I good to go traveling down the road? I see similar rigs like mine and there is no way they are within truck weight. Is there a difference in truck weight & tire weight, and is it OK to travel exceeding the truck weight? Thanks ahead for any assistance.
