 Description of the problemI bought a 2007 cherokee wolfpack 23wp in october 2006. I was looking for tire covers. On the front left side of the trailer, there are two stickers which both say the tire size is an st235/80r16/d. The tires on the trailer are an st225/75r15/d. The sticker on the trailer states the gvwr of 11,615 lbs. There is also a sticker inside the cabinet above the sink which also states the gvwr of 11,615 lbs, and the empty weight of the trailer is 7582 lbs. The tires are a karrier load star brand. I found the information on easternmarine. Com. It states the maximum carrying capacity of the st225/75r15/d is 2,540 lbs @ 65 psi. The maximum carrying capacity of the st235/80r16/d is 3,000 lbs @ 65 psi. If you multiply 2,540 times 4 equals 10,160 lbs maximum carrying capacity of the tires. This gives a difference of 1,455 lbs less than the gvwr. The sticker on the front of the trailer does state the axle size of 5,200 lbs. This gives a maximum gawr of 10,400 lbs. This is also 1,215 lbs less than the gvwr. In the cherokee wolfpack brochure, it gives the unloaded vehicle weight of 7,582 lbs. It also gives the payload of 4,033 lbs. This also adds up to 11,615 gvwr. I just do not believe the tires on the trailer are the correct tires. I talked to becky miller at forest river a few times last week and she told me the wrong sticker was put on the trailer. If they change the weight rating of the trailer, then this changes the amount i can haul. I also talked to mike at forest river cherokee division on friday 1-25-08. He also told me the sticker is wrong. He also told me that they did do upgrades on the tires and axles after mine was built. If the stickers on the trailer are wrong, then the brochure is wrong. All i want is the correct tires,rims, and axles be put on the trailer so they will handle the gvwr of the trailer. Becky miller's phone number is 260-593-0023. Mike's phone number is 260-593-2666. If you have any questions, please call or e-mail me. Thanks, charles t. Key
