What exactly is the steer axle weight limit?

Are you another one of this sites "conflict and strife BOT's?"
Everything you posted was to build conflict and strife.
The fact that you cannot rely on a tires ratings to be legal on the road. That is from DOT. You don't like it? Go argue with DOT. While they're measuring the width of your tire tread.

But I do imagine. Some of the problems created were from recaps. The company recapping, didn't fulfill the entire width of the original tread.

 

Who actually runs recaps on steers, though?

 

Off-road trucks run them. Water trucks, mine trucks, dumps, logging trucks--- anything that doesn't move very fast and seldom runs on a highway.
We run a lot of recaps on the steering axle of our off-road rigs but we seldom if ever haul on anything but private roads.

 

You are going to have to break that down for me Buddy.

I said tire size matters.

I also said the tire width is printed on THE TIRE no measuring required.

 

You appear to have enough knowledge to know.
You can have the same tire. By same manufacturer. They'll make it in different weight ratings. You can have a narrower tire that is rated quite high in weight.
As far as just having to read on the tire the tire width. You'll have to argue with DOT about that. Tell DOT they don't have to measure. I'm sure they'll appreciate your schooling them.

 

Steer Axle Weights Have Increased: Are Your Steer Tires up to the Challenge?

 

Explanation of Truck's Tire Size

 

12,000 but watch your fuel weight as well which is around 8lbs per gallon.

 

So you resurrect an old thread to make a post that is completely wrong?

There's plenty of real answers buried in the decade-old thread, but the simple answer is that on the interstate & us highways your steer is limited to the lowest weight rating of the various steer axle components, or a max of 20k.

And water weighs just over 8 pounds per gallon. 7.1 pounds per gallon is a safe number for diesel.

 

8.34/G for water, but still need to weigh it due to contaminates to make sure your slurry weight is correct.
