Time for new tires - Help

Well an LT 235/80-16E will have a weight rating of 3,042# Total gross weight of that 5er is 13,000# - the 20% on the pin = 10,400# on the tires. I would rather have LT than ST's
Yeah looks like his 318 RL Laredo may have around a 13000 GVWR and 5.2k or 6k axles.
The LT235/85-16 E or the LT245/75-16 E have 3042 lbs capacity and fit the trailers axle load requirements.
I sure wouldn't put a ST back on a trailer that size. Maxxis ST tires seems the most popular ST recommended on this website but with over 20 members reporting their Maxxis ST8008 throwing treads/slipped belts/etc doesn't sound like the best choice.
