HELP WITH TIRES
I am buying a new toyhauler that has trailer king tires on it. I told the dealer I do not like the trailer king brand and after negotiating he agreed to put goodyear marathons on for $150 more total. ...

Check the specs on the trailer. It will show the weight ratings of the axles. The tires should have at least the same rating as the GAWR of the axles. I like to have at least 20% extra tire weight carrying capacity above GAWR. Mine are at 45% above GAWR now.
The Goodyear Marathon ST trailer tire listings I found at Tire Rack only go up to E load rating at 3420 lbs. each at 80 psi. So a pair would be rated at 6840 lbs.

I'm guessing yours has 7000 lb. or 8000 lb. axles. A Goodyear LT235/85R-16 L.R. G is rated for 3750 lbs. at 110 psi, so it's rated for 7500 per axle. That's the highest rating I could find for a 16" Goodyear tire.

6000
7000
