One big thing I did back in the '80s was change all my RV and non rv trailers with 4k up to 6k axles was move to all LT tires. No more carrying 2 spares on road trips. No more ruined tires. Tire mileage went from 12k-15k up to 40k-50k.
The big plus was no more tire issues on any of my trailers and no more hauling two spares around.
For 7k-8k axles the Sailun S637 made for regional service trailers is commercial grade all steel ply carcass that comes in a ST235/8016 G load range at 4080 lbs/110 psi...or for more capacity the same Sailun in a ST235/85-16 G at 4400 lbs capacity. These ST tire can easily go for 50k+ miles. Carrying two spares with these tires is a waste of space and money.
