Wheels Not Rated as Tires
Our new3791RD has Sailun 235/80R-16 tires rated at 4,080# per side wall marking. Recently I crawled under to check labels on axles, wheel, etc and found the embossed max weight on the rims is 3,750. I know that the margin for these rims is ~250# each so shouldn't be an issue but I just thought it was strange that they are not the same. Gross is 17,000 and pin is ~3,000.
I'm actually looking at replacing the tires and wheels with some rated higher 17.5" H rated but don't want to spend the $2k+ right now.
