I looked at their ad the other day and I didn't see an 18 at that weight rating. I will have to look at those again

Opposite experience here. I had several blown tires, but only 1 crack rim and that was minimal.
The tire blows I blame on the fact that darn Hancock had so long lasting thread that they aged before wear out. The crack rim I blame on the time when I tried to limp on single wheel with heavy load and second blow made me running on rims. ... with some sparks

My rim cracked because they were not rated for more than 3500 lbs. When you get up close to 4000 lbs. its tires and rim maxes your getting to.

For anyone that truly wants to understand the answers to questions like this, I suggest going to your nearest university bookstore and go to the Civil Engineering section and get the text book for first year "Statics".
If you want it in condensed form, Eshbach's "Handbook of Engineering Fundamentals" is a great reference, but it condenses an entire book of the why to just 25 pages. I'll warn you, that level of information compression makes it pretty hard to read.
