So then that comment is a bit misleading.

Rounded numbers.
If you buy 6000 pound rated tires and put them on 4800 pound wheels, then the 6000 pounds are limited to the wheel capacity.
And one doesn't have to buy Alcoa's, HiSpec makes the wheel with a 6K rating.

But
Alcoa's are forged, HiSpec is cast.
Alcoa's are made in the US, HiSpec is china.

When I bought mine ( I needed two wheels) Alcoa's were priced lower.

Just checked my CAT scale log, at the heaviest I was 18830 on the axles, 4707 eache.

Prices for petroleum products have gone up considerably since the beginning of the pandemic, especially tires. Discount Tire, who has been my tire dealer for over 20 years, gave me their best price of about $550 per tire, plus FET, etc., for a total of ~$3200 for 5. They will price match if I bring them a written estimate from Southern Tire; but I won't do that. I don't need the extra load bearing ability of 6k tires, but the extra ability should roll easier, and definitely make me feel better.

Discount only requires you show them an add on the net and they will match. Just did that with tires for my boat trailer.

Just got back from Southern Tire; five mounted and installed, using my original valve stems, new valve cores, and my ceramic balance beads; $2400. Continental 235/75/17.5 HTL2; not bad. Now I have 5, practically new tires to get rid of.

Also, Goodyear is making me jump thru hoops on that damage and tire claim.

My hoops were to get an estimate for the damages and submit to the area rep.

Update: I had the tires listed on CraigsList, FacebookMarketplace, and Nextdoor. No one seemed interested. Finally took $300 for all 5 just to get them out of my garage. I bought a 6th Continental to carry in the back of my truck (I had carried a G/year). I found that when I did have a blowout and used the spare, i was having to search for another spare while on the road. Having the extra tire in the truck saved me that problem.

Camping World, New Braunfels, TX did the repair on my five, and I'm having to corrrect a lot of minor details. I won't be using them again. Finally got a check from Goodyear, paying for a new tire.
