Trailer tire ratings?
Our new fiver will have a max loaded weight of 12,500. What tire rating should we be looking for on this trailer. If it isn't the "best", how long should we wait before replacing them? We mostly snow...

Back in '05 my 12,100gvw Montana came with made in USA LT tires on 5080# rated axles. In '13 I put new Firestone Transforce LT's on. Now have over 9k on them. No problems yet just like the OEM's.
It's my understanding that light truck tires shouldn't be used on RVs because of the less rigid side walls. I've read that in multiple places online, so I'm curious what most folks on here think.
