Great info on 17.5 tires

Hi Al,

 

I looked on my Goodyear's that came from Holiday Rambler, and compared them to the Hercules I just bought. I gained over 5,200 pounds in total carrying capacity. The stock 16 inch tires from the factory barely covered the empty weight of the trailer before water, food, etc. Heck yea I feel better already. Now to put some miles on them and see how they work. Wasn't it cool the way they wrapped them for shipping? Appreciate the shout back! Happy RVing.

 

Thx,

Bigtrailer

Just remember that adding tire load capacity does not expand the axle load capacity, nor the spring load capacity, nor the frame load capacity.

 

It just adds margin in tire loading. That is a good thing. but it does not "I gained over 5,200 pounds in total carrying capacity."
