Wouldn't the G614 tires be more than adequate though? At that rating the 4 tires are capable of 15,000 lbs. So even with a 16k trailer (assuming some of the bigger Montys weigh that much fully loaded) wouldn't the tires only be carrying about 12-13k of that weight?

I definitely agree with you on this one. If you have a trailer GVWR such as ours which is 15560 lbs. and you load it heavy to even 15000 lbs. you ARE going to have a pin weight of at least 3000 lbs. That leaves only 12,000 to 12,560 lbs. left for the tires to carry. Even with our lop sided weights, 880 lbs. more on driver's side, we still have lots of wiggle room with the g614's.
