    Without checking my installation notes (which are in the coach) or the Michelin website; I'll say the tires are about 11,000# each @ 120psi max. My coach has a fully loaded drive axle weight of approx 20400 w/o a trailer and I initially used inflation of 120 but the centers wore. Reduced to 110 per Michelin website and they're doing better. I can tell you that the left held nicely last year when my left tag blew castastrophically @75 mph. At the time I converted, the wheels were available with no offset (ie mounting plane in center of rim), or offset 2" inside or outside. I installed 2" outside offset, the widest possible. The outside of the tire is now maybe 2" further in than when equipped with duals. The look is odd at first, but I got used to it (less unusual than the tag axle look) and Alcoa says the geometry actually gives you an effectively wider track because of the rims relationship to the hub surface. No spacers, that would worry me.
