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.

LOL. We've been through this before with you.
I've been a nuwa forum member for years. There was no dismal feedback from owners using OEM LT E tires (3042 lb) on 6k axles. On the contrary there were very few reports of the Uniroyal Lerado HD-H LT suffering from ST type tire failures. Sure there was the usual "its time to replace the tires and what should I get"/or help "after 5- 6 years I need new tires".
The reason NUWA went with 7k axles was the new fed regs (571.120 S10) wording. Keystone as other trailer manufacture using 6k axle on a 13-15 GVWR trailer were most likely in the same boat as NUWA
You must have been reading from the truck forum.
