Other thoughts.....we also bought a TPMS system for the new tires, now travel with 2 spares, and bought a 12 Ton bottle jack. We also travel with max tire pressure at 110 psi cold.

Hi Spec Oracle, thoughts from a consumer

I drove on the Hi Spec Oracle tires for 9 months on my 2020 Keyatone Laredo TT (no issues, less than 5k miles). Then we upgraded to a 5th wheel, 2020 Keystone Avalanche 396BH (16,500 lbs) and it...

2017, f350 DRW, Lariat, FX4

Loving my f350 but have never had a f450. It rides smoother than my f250 ever did! With the long bed, it is a bit$ch to turn though when backing into a tight spot!

Yes, I believe your statement is the bottom line truth of the wheel is also safely rated to handle that tire at a max psi.

I see you say 10% total weight for towbar. Would a calculation of 20-25% be more appropriate for a 5th wheel? My rig is not a Travel Trailer.
