I have all 4 tires on my 2007 3400RL as LT 235/85-16 (2 Carlyle - 3590# - on front axle and 2 Mastercraft - 4032# - on the back axle) - which is good because my 2013 GMC 3500 (SRW) has 265/70-18 (rated at 3525#) - which give that 1 ton GMC some bodacious height, so the extra height on the Trailer helps. My question is ... do all these diiferent ratings hinded/help/no effect on my 14,000# Montana?

BTW I switched to LT for my 5ver tires after Good Sam ERS tried for 3 hrs in central Ohio to find a 235/80-16 ST tire. LT tires are much easier to find (especially on a weekend). Just watch your load rating and your DOT date... Hopefully everyone here on the MOC forum know hows th check that... Right??
