I am sure more people with more knowledge can tell you more, If my brother was here he could tell a lot more as he was a tire executive at cupples company in MO. where they actually made the tires. I would and did go up to a D rating tire just for the added protection of added weight. hope that is clear as mud
hmmm... Why would TM put an axle only rated at 3500 lbs when the gvwr is more than that? Your info is helpful. I think I would feel better with the d rated tires regardless of the axle.
