Dustin, you are receiving some good advice and some questionable advise. You can just install Michelin XPS Ribs or Bridgestones Duravis R250s LT235/85R16E on your existing rims, inflate them to 80 pounds and go RVing for 6-8 years without worrying about tire problems. ST tires was never going to give you that kind of reliable service.
17.5 rims and tires are an overkill for your trailer. The R250s are a bit cheaper than the RIBs but just as good. I have ran both. I just
If you have not jointed the www.CardinalRVClub.org forum you should.

Agree with Chris on this one. You don't need a 17.5" wheels/tires on a trailer with 6k axles. Kinda' like putting 22.5" semi tires and wheels on a 1500 pickup truck.
The Ribs or the R250/M895 are a commercial grade all steel ply carcass tire that gives a owner years of trouble free service.
Some suggest you do a search on the subject. You'll get a better cross the spectrum input of ST tire issues by doing a google on the subject. Thousands of heavy trailer owners 9not just RVs) have been in your shoes and upgraded to a 16" LT E on 6k axles and have no more tire issues.
I sure wouldn't put any brand of ST tire back on that heavy trailer.
Do not put more air pressure in any tire above max listed on the tire before first asking the tire dealer if the new tires warranty will be any good. Check with your dealer first before doing so.
I've bought more same size tires/brands for my work trailers in a year than many folks will ever own. Non of the tire dealers or their mfg's recommended using tire pressures above max listed on the sidewall. Doing so can void a new tire warranty.
