That is what I changed to.
Absolutly do NOT use Marathon tires. Over a 3 year period,We bought a total of 7 Marathon tires, and 3 blew out (you have to know that we have a heavy 5th wheel). We switched to Goodyear LT235/85/R16tires, and run them at 90 psi.
Goodyear pro-rated our Marathon tires and sold us 4 new 235/85R/16.
It cost us $1000. So far, so good.
Make sure that they use a metal tire stem.

Nice to see some understand using the weight/inflation guide when up sizing load range instead of blindly running "MAX" pressure!
I switched from GY "E" to GY "G" tires on our Avion and ran 85psi for 5 years and thousands of miles. The tread wear was even across the tread.
