Are the tires and axles on the Changan Kalam strong enough to carry the maximum load without frequent failures?

Users mention premature tire wear o r bent axles under high cargo weights. Are the components not rated for Pakistani commercial use?

No, especially in rural and high-load use cases.
Users report:

Rapid tire wear

Tire bursts on hot days

Bent rear axles o r cracked axle housings

These failures often happen when the truck is loaded near o r above 900 kg, especially on broken roads o r during braking on slopes. The axle load rating seems too close to the claimed maximum, leaving little margin.
