Your talking apples and oranges and you didn't address the comment. The comment addressed the effect the larger tires have on the weight capacity of the truck and effect on the final drive ratio of the larger tires.
That's common sense.

In case you forgot here is your post.

If you are hauling trailer(s) heavy enough to cause excess wear on the tires you either have to be hauling very heavy loads or the rear end is out of alignment. Assuming it's the load causing the problem you would have to assume that you're at or above the truck's capacity. Adding larger tires is not going to increase the capacity of the truck. And adding the larger tires to a truck that is already carrying a heavy load don't help the problem of final drive gear ratio. Sounds like you have a catch 22 on your hands.
What was it I did not address ?
If you are going to come to a battle of wits you need to have at least a few rounds of ammunition. Usually people with your ego have a problem with this forum.
I have had the speedo corrected at a Ford dealer for the size tires I have. My gear ratio is 4:10 with a limited slip so the ratio is only going to HELP the engine not hurt it and improve gas milage !! I am a advocate of NEVER over hauling a truck. I never go over the weight limit of any truck when I haul. Go back and look at my posts.
