Tires...Michelin XPS Rib LT225/75R16, Load range E, max load 2680

with metal valve stems.
Trailer gross dry weight 6,900(oem numbers) so probably real life (loaded) gross loaded number might be closer to 9,670 (tanks full, 127 gallon in tanks and 1,500 of personal stuff). Tongue weight (oem) is 750.
Trying to leave as much room between my gross weight I'll be carrying and max weight that I should not go over.
Any other choices you would recommend?
I can't seem to a find cheaper tire that many people have had good service with.
The XPS rib is a very stiff summer tire. The LTX M/S2 in the same size and load capacity will provide better handling and give your trailer a smoother ride.
