Is there evidence that tire failures correlate with the use of a WDH, heavier or otherwise?
Rather, the evidence suggests that the tire failures are more directly linked to the the heavier single axle trailers with the 14"tires (especially the 2720's), where they tended to have been close to their capacity in the first place. The factory's move of this part of the product line to the heavier rated 15" tires suggests they reached this same conclusion.
While I can't find any support for your personal theory, I'm pleased to hear that you have decided to use your WDH at least part of the time.
