I have a jayco motorhome on a ford e450 chassis, original. Tires michelin 225/75 with load factor e. Max load of the tires is 9880lbs, my actual rear axle weight 9270 (static and motorhome empty with no water, fuel tank 1/3 full)according to michelin that is asking for tire failure ( had 2 already) because the dynamic loads (going down the street, bumps - uphill - downhill- sideloads) will be over the tire limit. That's the reason the law requires pass, cars and light trucks to have a 16% reserve capacity; mine is down to about 2%. With full fuel and water tank, little bit of staff loaded for vacation or putting anything on the trailer hitch (boat or even loaded bike rack) i am overweight for the existing tires and max rear axle weighti know that is not an issue ford has to deal but jayco.but i would very much appreciate your expertise about what to do (is that motorhome a risk to drive , maybe unsafe?) is there any means to increase the max rear axle weight on that e450 chassis?any way i could put on a different tire size (enough room on the rim / wheel-well;that would increase the max tire load about 1000lbs - but is that legal and doable, especially. With the dual tires.i am looking forward to your answer*la
The tire blew out while driving 65 mph.the vehicle had to be towed.
