Wow, thanks Motor31 I had no idea there was so much to it. Thanks for taking the time to explain why it’s important.
The 5th wheel is a 2003 Montana 3280RL, with a GVW of 14,180 lbs. I haven’t actually weighed it on scales yet, but that is on my list of things to do. According to Keystone-Montana I should use 235/85R16E rim size 16x6, and what was on there when I bought it were LT235/85R16’s with a load rating of E.
It has two axels with two wheels per axel (4 wheels). So if I understood your instructions correctly, if 90% of the weight is on the tires than that would be 12,762 lbs out of the 14,180 lbs total. With 4 tires, that would be 3,191 lbs per tire. So if I understand correctly, I need to look for tires that can carry at least that load? I searched the web some but wasn’t able to find what load rating this calculates to (maybe I wasn’t looking for the right thing).
Am I on the right track? Did I understand your instructions correctly?
Thanks again,
Scott
