Thanks for the help guys. Current Karrier KR35s show 113/108M on them.
The Goodyears are getting installed Thursday, and yes, I am having steel stems put in as well. I already got a TireMinder A1A ready to go on the new stems. I was planning to run the Goodyears at 70-75 PSI, didn't think I would need to max them out at 80? Keep in mind, the axles they are attached to max out at a combined 8800#. The Dexstar rims are rated up to 2860# of load. Here is my spreadsheet I made to track everything (all info pulled either from the tires, the manual, or sticker on the vehicle).
As noted, I will be running a relatively low margin on truck payload. Need to hit a scale once loaded for a realistic camp outing to see what the trailer hitch weight actually is. My stuff in the truck is myself and family (about 350#) and then will likely have:
Generator
5 Gallon Gas Can
Spare 20# Propane Tank
Small compliment of tools (wrenches, tire irons, etc)
My "Tech" bag
Backpack for baby stuff (daughter is 14 months old)
I can't imagine that I will possibly have more than 600# of non-human cargo, plus 350# of us coming out to 950# plus hitch plus trailer tongue weight all needing to be under 2200#. I would think I should be ok but down the road a heavier trailer will change the math.
I have to say, comparing the sticker payload for my VIN to the "specs" online - 300# disappeared that I would rather have available!
Was not going to just abandon the WDH, but curious to see how the weights distribute around. I cannot imagine my trailer getting close to the GVWR which means there should be some room on the trailer axles to carry some more load from the WDH.
