The standard LT tires that come on our trucks have a much higher reserve built into them than the ST tires that normally come on campers. Weight them you will see the difference.
My light weight High County weighs 9200 pounds empty. My Ford 250 weighs in at 8400 pounds. When you add 1800 pounds pin weight to the truck now to weighs in at 10200 and the HC now has 7400 pounds on the tires which are rated for a little over 3000 pounds each at 107 MPH. I have plenty reserve because I will probably never pull my HC at any where near a hundred MPH. After you add everything I carry I’m still way under 12000 pounds the tires are rated for and are no more likely to blow out than my truck tires.
