Tires, what are you using? Trailer? Truck?
I just bought a used 5th wheel and I need to replace the tires. I'm not new to trailering but I know that trailer tires can really be a pain. I am used to using truck tires on trailers, however, LT2...

13,500 GVWR - 2300 Pin = 11,200 Max weight on tires
11,200 / 4 tires = 2800 pounds on each tire at max weight
3042 max allowed per tire - 2800 = 242 pounds remaining per tire
242 pounds per tire on an LT tire is plenty of cushion for me since the truck tire is a real tire, not that cheap Chinese junk that gets put on our trailers by the manufacturers. I've run nothing but Michelin LT's on both of my 5th wheels with never a tire issue.
