Tires for 2009 Fifth Wheel 11,590 GVWR

I hope this post shows up in an appropriate forum. Have been finding limited information online as to which new tires to get for fifth wheel. Gross veh. weight is 11,590. I was advised to upgrade from existing ST225/75D15 to LRE 10 ply, load 125 radials (an ST225/75E15). The main ones I am finding in that range are Maxxi's or Carlysle. Any suggestions from folks here? Is there a better option? I hope to have them installed on 4/1. Thanks.

    Upgrade to a 16" LT truck tire with the correct load range. The LT 235/80-16 E on my 5er are 3,042# ea. covers my 12,360# GVWR of the 5er. I carry less than 10,000# on the 5er axles.

    If it says "Made in China" on the sidewall stay away from it. Maxxis are good as are any LT tire.
