If you are going to haul 3 ton loads in a W300, you are approaching 12,000# GVW, with probably 8,000 on the rear axel (just a little past the axel rating of 7,500. You should seriously consider the Michelin 11R16's, as they are the only tire discussed that has the load capacity (4,500) to handle this as a single. Also, go slow! the W300 brakes aren't really that good. Be safe. Rob
