Load range on tow vehicle
- Thread starter Ram12375

What am I missing? Why would you have to change your tires?
The set up you have now show your tires can carry 2535lbs per tire, a combined 5070lbs per axle. You are not carrying the 6900 pound trailer on your truck...only the hitch weight (tongue weight).
You didn't post a picture of your truck's two labels from the driver's door, but I'm guessing your axle is like most 1500s with a GAWR REAR of about 4100lbs (which with your 2 combined tires of 5070lbs is more than adequate).
The GAWR REAR can be your limiting weight.
It will most likely be your payload which will also be on the driver's door labels.

will it tow as good as load range D tires? no, but with a dual axle that around 5k to 5500k normal weight and a good WDH you will be fine
i tow on my oem falken at3w's which are the same rating as what you are showing.
just up the pressure if you feel some wiggle. ( single axle camper at 4500lbs)
they can take 51psi cold.
i tow with them at 45 to 46 cold as at 36-38 there was a little squishy wiggle, now its perfect no issues

I'm guessing in theory Class C ST tired rated @ 1,760lbs each works for your Travel Trailer. I'm guessing it came from the factory with D due to factory pricing.
I also air up my original Truck tires to 47lbs each all around
