It is like the hula hoop craze.Eveyone gets one so you need one also. The primary reason to me is the tire load rating of that LT tire. We are right at the max with our present general tire that have been without issue.(3083 X 2=6166 X2=12332 on our 06 3400 and we struggle to keep there) We will get a quality tire with a acceptable tire load rating what ever that tire might be. Because we are long timers and do a lot of road miles they may be the G614's. We already have the IS system and the TPMS. The 5th wheel GCWR rating of our 08 F-350 is 23,500 however our anchor F-350 weighs in at 9K ready to tow so that leaves us 14,500 for the 3400 although it has a GVWR of 15,500...So looking at the numbers we need to keep the weight on the axles down to 12,332 which we do by weighing in every year. There is much to consider....
