I would like some feedback from those who tow heavy loads and have gone to 265 tires on stock rims.
I tow a 13k lb. 5th wheel with approx. 2000 pin weight and am perhaps being a bit over-cautious about putting this much weight on a tire/wheel combo of 265 Michelins, load range E tires on the stock 6 inch rims. Reason is that these tires would normally go on 7 inch rims or greater.
Can anyone give me a warm and fuzzy feeling that I won't be over-stressing the sidewalls with this combo??
I plan on running max. air of 80 psi in the rears.
