I see your fiver is a 8000-9000 lb. unit dry weight. Are you running 15" tires?
If so, the Michelin rib tires and the Bridgestone R250's are out--16" only.
In the 15 inch size, I suggest the Maxxis M8008's--the best of the ST tires. It also comes in most popular diameters.
The Michelins suggested are LT truck tires, and they're just not the kind'a tire needed on a fifth wheel trailer. You have specialized needs.
