Yes you're absolutely correct about deducting (most of the) pin weight! I'd like to see folks thinking more about safe weight limits though. I can't help but think all the discussion about the Marathon's blowing sidewalls may have more to do with weights, pressures and curbs than the quality of the tire. Thanks for pointing out the pin weight consideration however because it is in fact should be considered for sure.

I think any LT mentioned here will handle more weight than those crappy STs they put on at the factory; regardless of weight rating. STs are simply not held to the manufacturing standards that the LTs are.

Well, my brother-in-law arrived in Daytona Beach with his Montana and the Park owner saw the damage to the trailer and said ""Goodyear tires?" This was after another blowout - he has now replaced all four of his tires. BTW - why does Montana put a different tire on the Big Sky version of 3400RL? The 3400 is Montana's heaviest trailer.
