If coming out of this I end up needing new wheels and tires my options are not many. So far I have the ST E range that Capri Racer suggested and that is about it. I have not found any LT tire that fits the diameter and at least a 2,500# max load rating. If some one knows of a 28.3" OD tire with that load rating in a LT please point it out.

Take a look at the very last item in this reference. Can you make a 29.3" tire work?
Maxxis LT

29.3" OD creates wheel well issues. I need to change the hangers to make them work.
However they list a (4th up from the bottom)
TL22212000 - 205/75R16C - 113R 10 BSW - 28.1"OD - 8.20" wide - 75psi 2,535# 5.5"rim.
I just do not know if that tire is acceptable in a trailer situation or if I need extra reserve capacity. I do not understand what type it is. LT is not listed there. And I cannot find a rim that narrow in 16". Yet anyway.
There is also a
TL22214000 -215/75R16C - 113R 8 -BSW 28.7"OD - 8.80" wide 70psi 2,535# /6.00" rim
And I can buy a trailer rim for that one. I have to deal with 0.2" of wheel well clearance though.
John I think those are P tires. You would have to divide the load capacity by 1.1. So the one that is 2535 at 75 psi would give you only 2305 pounds.
