First of all you need to get your rig fully loaded weighed... Once you have the weight you'll know if you have overloaded the tires and suspension. If you are not overweight then you need to make a tire decision.
After a year of research, I decided to go with Michelin XPS Ribs for my 15000lb 5th wheel. These are LT tires and based on reviews, the tires have performed well for casual RVers as well as fulltime RVers. Many claim the tires still had plenty of tread even after 60,000 miles. Most replaced the tires due to age rather than low tread or damage.
For as little as you use your toyhauler, I wouldn't go to a large expense..maybe replace the one tire, make sure all tires are properly inflated and then keep a close eye on the tires for signs of possible problems.
