    Yes, the web page where I got my information has some mistakes. It shows the 48.792 type shield, so it is certainly a 48 tonne truck. However further on in the text it says it is a 44 tonne truck. The page also claims it is 250 tonne rated, but 350 tonne seems entirely possible as well.

    I suppose the cooling will also be for the Renk transmission. As you will know Renk is also part of the MAN group.

    Oddly enough, the web site of the company lists the truck as a 44 tonne truck ( 9 + 9 + 13 + 13 ).

    Because of tires 315/80r22.5 are limited mostly to 13.4t per axle, not too long time ago they were 12.6t, maybe like 15years ago. So you had 13r22.5 for 13t.
    Only few 315/80 5ires can get 16t per axle.
