Nice Rig! We have a 2019 375FL. I didnt opt for the discs right away but did get the 8K Axles and H rated tires.

Good luck with your rig.

The reason I ask is I upgraded to load range G tires on my gooseneck I took delivery on in January of 2017. Fast forward to last Friday when I picked up a nail somewhere along I-95 in South Carolina. I made it to a Goodyear commercial service shop in Savannah to get it changed. Upon further inspection the tech discovered that not only was there a nail in my tire but the rim had a small crack about 3" long right down the center. The tech said it could have been from the heat build up caused by running it at low pressure. Thankfully, for the tire and ultimately the load, I-95 was a parking lot most of the way southbound to the Ga. line where it opened up to 3 lanes. That's probably the only thing that kept the tire from blowing out was the reduced speeds. Back to the rim: When I ordered the trailer I ordered 7k torsion axles, elec/hyd discs, and load range G tires. Evidently the trailer was shipped with load range E tires because the rims that are on it are only rated for 3750#. So, if you upgraded the tires make sure the rims are the proper ones.
Sorry if this post sounds discombobulated, we've had a steady parade of customers in here this AM. No complaints!
The upgrade came with H Rated Tires. I also run a Tire Minder System to keep an eye on the tires.

None of the brochures indicate which ones are the amber glaze or english chestnut (easy to figure out the mocha).

Thanks and that's a very nice looking rig!
My woodwork is the English Chestnut.

The upgraded axles are a factory option on 2020 order sheet. Prior to that you had to ask. Vanleigh is pretty good about doing whatever you want so call them if you have special requests.
