Apparently so. But being a pavement driver, I have no trouble with these
tires.

The load capacity of the RT is 98, or 1653 lbs per tire. Total carrying
capacity of an equally distributed load on four tires is 6612 lbs. My
own van has a zero fuel weight of 3640 lbs. I can add 2926 lbs to my
vehicle before reaching the weight limits on those tires. There is no
way I will ever haul that big a load on those tires. The only issue I
might have with these tires is the sidewall construction. The tires have
twin steel belts, and a polyester cord body. The sidewalls are not that
stiff, so there is curvature out beyond the rim with the tire on the
road. On gravel roads - especially like driving to and from Alaska - it
would be easy to get a rock through the sidewall, especially if one was
not "on it" keeping the tires up to pressure, etc.
