Those that are familiar with my RV trailer tire posts know that I do extensive researching. Over the years I have followed two RV trailer manufacturers that have used the LT235/85R16E tires as OEM on their 6000# axles. After dismal owner feedback both company’s (NuWa & Keystone) ended up going with the higher load capacity 3420# ST tire. The ST tires have not performed well on the same units operating with GAWs close to GAWR. From my own experiences I’ve found it very hard not to have at least one potentially overloaded tire position when operating at (say) 11,700# GAW on 6000# axles.
Both of those manufacturers have numerous internet forums in their brand names with extensive archive information. Once you find the LT tire brand names you can use that name to search with.

It would have been interesting if you would have installed Michelin LT245/75R16E XPS RIBs after your first round of tire failures. I have a sneaking hunch your tire history and endosements might have been written quite differently. Chris
