In MY opinion, with having a triple axle, I would only upgrade to a good, quality 16" tire. With the GVWR being 19K, if you went to a 17.5, those 6 tires would be good for 24,480#.. Deduct the pin weigh and your overkill or that application. ( IN my opinion only)
There are 2 quality, 16" tires that come to mind that BOTH are having good reviews,:
16" Goodyear G-614
16" Sailun S637-- -- -- MUCH cheaper that the GY, and I have not seen a bad review yet on them. Lots of folks swapping to them with great results
X2 on the Sailun S637s. We've had them on our rig for a year and a half and I'm extremely pleased with them. The Sailuns are popular with commercial truckers.
