I ran new ST Maxxis tires on one axle and new LT Nexan tires on the other axle for 18 months to see which set lasted longer. Lt tires are still fine after another 18 months and the ST tires developed bulges after a couple of hot summer drives. I now run all LT tires. I realize in your tire size that may not be a good option, but if you can find LT tires with a weight rating that matches your load then I would buy them.
BTW I did not notice any handling/wear difference between the LT and ST tires while they were both on the 5er. There is about 75lbs difference between my front and rear axle weights when loaded and I put the LT tires on the slightly heavier front axle.
