No matter, the Toyo's are good tires, as long as you don't get a set that smell like cow dung when they warm up !
Oh I forgot about that! They did stink for a few months!

Yes, I weighed mine and was surprised. 14,020 pounds on my front axle.

So I found 1 more place, kind of funkybplace, but they beat the other place by about $200. $3360 out the door.

Warranty to original purchaser only. Non transferable. Bummer for me!

Good idea. I am always going to truck scales to weigh and they can only weigh the axels. Where did you get the portable scale? How much?

It's a CAS RW 10L scale. Rated at 20,000lbs. I traded it for some consulting work years ago, but I think new they are $12-1300 new. Probably could find a used one for much less. They are designed to connect several together so you can get multiple tire weights at once. I just have the one, so I gotta drag it around to all the corners.

When I first used it, I found that my coach is 1000lbs heavier on right than left.

Q is on my radar. As long as ground is rock hard, we can weigh our hearts content.
