Default Tire ratings

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.

The factory website shows the 3326 at 3520 lbs with load capacity of 1396 = 4619 lbs...
.......I think that is closer to 4916 lbs., not that anyone is counting.
