Robin, if you get a chance, send me the size and brand of the tires. Off hand I wouldn't worry too much about the truck. How many miles will you be driving. Larger trucks have split rims and it's common in commercial usage. Personally inflating any tire on any vehicle scares me, but the US moves on tires. As far as loading, my recommendation is to load heavy towards the front with heavy items as low as possible. It's also important to secure the load every 8 to 10 feet to prevent the load from shifting. There are several military sites that allow you to walk through your house and check mark what you have so that you will get a volume as well as an estimate of weight. It's very hard to overload a medium duty truck if you stick to household goods. Make sure you remove any DOT numbers if there are any since you are a private individual not subject to FMCSA inspections and guidelines--including interstae weigh stations.
