This morning, I went to the bother to find the rating on my Goodyear Marithon 75R14 tires. The print is small and I have not been able to find this info previously. My 3326 has 2 axles and 4 tires. The tire rating is 1870# each for a total of 7480#. With a TM having dry weight of 3200# that is a lot of margin.

Even the GVWR of 4916# has liberal margin. Other ratings are GAWR = 3500# and UVW = 3870#. I believe the TM factory told me they were 3500# axles each, so I don't think I will be worrying about finding higher rated tires or braking capability with this unit.

What I don't know is exactly what does set the weight rating on the camper and I have been recommended to contact the factory Engineer to find that out. Ed was not able to help me with this question.
