Good morning tire mavens and gurus.
We took delivery of our 2013 Premier 30REPR a few months ago and have had only three short camping trips so far totaling approx 1,000 miles. Of course, the TT came equipped with 'China bombs' (Trailer King) 225/75 15 range D. Given that we will be leaving in a few weeks for a 5,000+ mile trip out west, would I be saving potential grief and damage to the TT by switching out the Trailer Kings for a set of Maxxis? If I do that, can I install the 10 ply which is a load range E, I believe? I recall reading on the tire forum that it would depend on whether or not my existing wheels are rated for the higher pressure (80 psi vs 65 psi). If so, how do I determine said wheel rating?
Thanks for whatever wisdom and experience you may share.
