New Tires
Another question as I am preparing to replace tires on my fifth wheel.
I am replacing due to age, not due to wear.
Question is with regard to the spare.
I know the best thing to do is replace all 5 with the same tire.
But, does it make any sense to replace the spare with a cheaper tire or leave the existing spare on (zero miles on it), with the thought that it would only be used until I can reach the next town?

RE: GVWR versus GAWR
Thanks for the replies.
I'm kind of a numbers nut and I knew the axles weren't adding up to the GVWR.
Never thought about the weight on the hitch. That is definitely the answer.
I also knew they built to the bare minimum.
Now on to the bank for a second mortgage for tires. LOL

GVWR versus GAWR
I have a Grand Design fifth wheel.
Getting ready to replace tires.
While looking at ratings, I noticed I have a GVWR of 13,995#.
My GAWR shows to be 6,000# each.
The UVW shows t be 10,828# - not relevant to this question.
Wouldn't I be limited in Gross Vehicle Weight by the two 6,000# axles (12,000# MAX)?
If so, wonder why they would not use 7,000# axles to match the GVWR?
