Let say I have a 4,000 lb. camper with two axles (four tires). There is 400 lbs. of tongue weight on the hitch which would leave the remaining 3,600 lbs. distributed to the four tires (900 lbs./tire). To keep it simple, let's say the weight of the camper is distributed equally left and right. Now my question is; if one of the tires goes flat, (1) will the tire remaining on the flat side now be also supporting the weight of the flat tire (for a total of 1,800 lbs.), or (2) will the 900 lbs. from the flat tire be distributed to the remaining three tires so that each tire is now supporting 1,200 lbs.? Looking forward to your input. I hope I picked the correct forum and level. Thanks in advance. Larry
