Tire issues

Gentlemen, so many words, so many opinions. I doubt this issue will be solved in this forum. Seems to me that a lot of folks simply try to get the most out of their dollars. So many discussions about grossly overloaded tow vehicles. Shame on dealers for putting naïve buyers into overloaded situations. Same goes for tires. I have a half ton towable 30 foot Cougar that I tow with a new Ford F-350 Powerstroke. No overweight issue there. The Trailer King RST E rated 10 ply tires have worked great for me. With that being said, I will add that these tires have a nice cushion built in for the weight I tow. I have seen many 5ers with the exact tires on these trailers which have considerably more weight . I am not an expert and do not claim to be, however I can do simple math. Shame on the travel trailer manufacturers for putting on light weight tires that are grossly over loaded from the factory . Just my opinion fellas but don’t blame the tires for being used outside their intended purpose.
