Sorry that you think the quote is out of context, as I feel it isn't.

If you meant that higher capacity tires would not counter axle overloading, you are correct--and no tire can prevent an axle from bending if mistreated/overloaded. However, that is not how I interpreted it. I was trying to get across that simply changing to higher capacity wheels and tires as many have done, is a great way to get away from the early (and later) DRV tendency to equip new units with tires loaded near the max capacity.

I apologize that it came across as a criticism, I just do not agree with what you said. And I did include 'respectfully' when I said it.
