    I'm totally lost as to why you went back in the first place. If it started out as 12,700-35,620-29100 that's only 77,420 lbs. why didn't you just adjust your tandems? Depending on the state your in 12,700 is fine on the steers. (A lot of states will let you run 13,000 on the steers or whatever the rating is for the tire). I run like that all the time. If the load is under 80,000 it can ALWAYS be adjusted out.

    Ya I believe there's a few, Colorado will allow you to roll at 46000 at the drives on Interstate and U.S highways. I'm not sure what Floridas regs. Are but I think they are another one.

    Ya what ever happen to our OP, did she make it out unscaved or what.
