Yeah, without cabinets, water, kitchen, etc., I'm sure you're pretty light. ANyways, your LT tires should be fine. The reason I ask is because if you were a camper, the tire pressure required might need to be higher than you'd think. I run 65# in the front and 80# in the rear.

I saw you were looking for 10ply and I found their 10 ply...FWIW I have LH501s from Lionhart on my Capri - they have 20k on them and probably have another 20

I am having good luck with this brand.

Oh, I stand corrected. You're right, the 265's are load-rated 112. Fantastic! Also, they're apparently light truck tires, although, strangely they don't have the "LT" designation in the tire size.
