Wrong! The EVC's weight is NOT distributed evenly over all 4 wheels. The
front carries more load than the rear. The Winnebago door sticker indicates
that the front 2 wheels of our '97 EVC must carry a GVWR of 3329 lbs which
means each front wheel must carry 1665 lbs. It would also be desirable
that the wheels and tires be selected so they're capable of carrying more
than that to give you a little margin of error in case of overload
conditions. The Michelin Agilis 51 tires and the Goodyear Cargo G26 tires
both are rated to carry 1875 lbs max load. I would think that the wheel
should be rated at least as high as the tires.
