Which tire do I buy?

Hi, I'd like to buy new tires with more weight carrying capacity for my truck to pull an 11,000lb 5th wheel. The ones that came with the 2018 Ram 2500 are size : LT275/70r18 125/122s. I'm not sure if that means they are E rated or D. The brand I'm looking to buy are from Westlake. the ones I have are Transforce and well worn. Thanks for your help.

    I've had really good service from Michelin LTX A/T 2. Had 2 sets on my Ram and my Silverado came from the factory with them. I tried a set of Hankooks in between and they just didn't measure up.

    I purchased Firestone Transforce the last three times for trucks owned and well pleased with them. Just my experience.

    All I know is that Westlakes on RVs are in the China Bomb family, so not sure I would want them on my RV.
