. The LT235/85-16 E R250 or the Ribs @ 3042 lbs = 6084 lbs is a very poor choice for your 7000 lb axles. The tire simply doesn't have enough capacity unless the 7k axles were a upgrade from 5.2k or 6k OEM.
I would tend to support this statement!
I don't. The axles don't weigh 7k lbs. They can carry that.
Thus as long as your not over 6k of weight on that axle, then the tires are fine.
My 7k axles carry 11,240 lbs, or approximately 5,620 each.
However, if your going to go light on tires, you better know for sure what each axle and if possible each tire is carrying.
