    Don’t believe what Peterbilt spec software says about weight either. Get the component manufacture literature to find what weighs what. (Dana, Spicer, Eaton, Meritor, etc.)

    If you aren't running any sort of bulk commodity, and are pulling heavy, go big or go home. 46k rears are a must. For steers, like @Ridgeline said, go big, but tailor your tires to what you are doing, they aren't that hard to swap out.

    A no tilt 5th wheel is for pulling frameless dump trailers.
