Actually I'd be surprised if they didn't get away with it since the other tires you mentioned would be LT tires and not trailer tires. Trailer tires having no requirement for reserve capacity. The exception would be if they put Goodyear Marathons on it and we all know how that comes out, pretty much the same as pushing Power King to the max. As the rigs keep getting heavier they will have to go to a G rated tire at some point, but you can bet that G rated tire will come from the low bidder and have similar issues to the cheap tires they are using now.
