Solution... Change to 7K axle components and buy new wheels for the "G" tires..
Not many folks going to do that... 
My axles are rated 10,400 lbs. combined... My wheels are rated 12,800 lbs. and my tires are rated 13,680....
Now... where's the weak link for a trailer with 12,350 GVWR  |
There was a much easier solution in Michelin XPS Ribs or Bridgestone Duravis R250s. I ran RIBs in that configuration for 6.5 years, then a set of R250s for 4.5 years until the trailer was sold. Never a problem, seldom need tire added and I never looked back! Chris
