I need to replace my original equipment 5 year old Goodyear Wrangler HT (LT235/85R16E) tires on my 35 ft 5th wheel. I've had 3 problems with these over the years, so don't want the same kind of tire. The 5th wheel weighs about 13,500 lbs with about 2500 on the pin, so I need 4 tires for 11,000 lbs load. I'd like a generous fudge factor, so I'm looking for a capacity of around 3,250 lbs for each tire. I know that averages 500 lbs excess per tire, but I have never weighed each tire position separately. I have wheels that will allow 110 psi.
The Denman Express ST Radial, ST235/85R16E, 10 ply, 80 psi, 3640 lb load looks good. $135 each. Made in Mexico. I'm looking for comments, suggestions, recommendations.
Thanks.

I recommend Michelin XPS ribs for the trailer. Commercial tires with steel belts. Made in England. Pricey but I will get more than 100,000 miles on the rear tires and 70-80,000 on the steer tires.
