    So here I am again seeking more advice towing.

    My grandpa just bought a tundra and a part of he deal was to change the tires from the factory Bridgestone to Michelin tires.

    Yesterday he called and said I have a free set of tires for you. The dealership threw the old/new tires with 75 miles on them in the back of his truck.

    So to the issue. I will need new tires for my truck but I tow a camper and I am concerned with the ability of the tire to deal with the weight.

    Current tires are nitto 275 65 r20 116s rated at 2756lbs per tire

    New tires Bridgestone 275 55 r20 111h. Rated at 2403 lbs per tire.

    My truck according to the tag is 7100 lbs gvwr

    Camper has a young weight of 720 lbs and max gvwr of 6880 and dry weight about 5230lbs.

    My math says the tires will work as long as I do not exceed max load. can someone in the know recommend or check me?
    I have included pics of tires and tow ratings
