I went to another place in town and they are recommending a different tire.
I am wondering if anybody has experience with a Hercules H-901 LT235/85r16
Load range G.
It weighs 52.5 pounds.

This is a fairly new tire and have been out for about 3 years. It takes several years in the RV world to have some type of reputation and recommendations from members. I see some of the brand RV websites where a few members have mounted them but its going to take rv folks several years to time out or wear out tires on their trailers.

However commercial haulers have found them to be just as reliable as the Sailuns.
Those folks may wear out two sets of tires on their trailers in a year time and 70k-90k miles. I've seen no complaints about the H-901 and probably won't as their another heavy all steel ply carcass commercial grade tire.
I see their website shows three 16" LT sizes and one ST. Load range F and G.

In googling I have found the same information.
I think I will be a Guinea pig.
They look like a strong tire at a reasonable price.
I have more spare capacity than the average 5er otherwise I would go with something that has a longer track record.
My 5er GVWR is 14,600. Axles are 7,000.
H-901 LT gives me 15,000 pounds of tire capacity on a LT tire.
