axles are 6k tires are rated at 3450 each GVW on fiver is 14K. Loaded and on the road we are 12.5 with 1.5 on the pin.
No experience with them.
When I buy a trailer(any type) and it comes with any brand ST tires I have LT tires put on and then sell the ST tires on craigslist or the local city newspaper.
You can use those china made ST for a year or two then replace them with a LT235/85-16 E at 3042 lbs which covers a 6k axle. Lawn service/utility trailer owners are always looking for a cheap new or used tire so they sell fast.
Now if the load on your tire are close to max (3000 lbs) then a LT235/85-16 G at 3750 lbs would be my choice.
