No sir, that link is incorrect. Being in the tire biz, it immediately stood out to me. That tire does NOT have a load index of 126 (which is 3748 pounds) as it is listed incorrectly on the site. Their web person likely made a transposition mistake.

It is supposed to have a load index of 104 which is 1985 pounds...as per the Maxxis company site. The stock numbers are the key.....TL16001900

In regards to LT tires, it is my understanding that ST tires were developed for trailer weight carrying use and are preferable for RV use. Is there something that I am missing here?

well the fact that they put tires on rv that barely , rarely if ever have enough load capacity is no surprise been that way a long time . My unit came with D tires on a 33' TH and they were not enough when loaded . Still have the yellow sticker on the side that claims load D 65 psi . even though i replaced those as soon as i got it home . Carilse are great running them now with over 12,000 miles still like new

That won't work same as the d load tires he already has . no where close to a E load rated ST tire . what a waste . you can't come up with a 10ply rated tire for 15" . the 6lpy you posted is junk and made for small suv's
