I would not buy another ST tire, but it looks like you need "G" rated LT tires rather than the "E" rated tires like the Michelin Rib. The "E" rated tire's weight limit is 3042 lbs. If you're at 3000 lbs. per wheel, it won't give you much leeway.
However the "G" rated tires can be inflated to 110 psi, so if you wanted to run at sidewall pressure you would need wheels that will allow you to inflate to 110 psi. I run "G" rated Sailun S637 tires on my 15,000 lb. triple axle toyhauler, and inflate them to 100 psi.

Thanks, but I don't think that the "G" rated tires will fit on a 16 inch wheel. As for tire ratings, the Marathon's are rated for 3400#s, while our 5th wheel weighs 3000# per tire. I think that the Marathon's are under-rated.
I have been using E rated Marathons for 13 years on fivers under 12K GVWR and have never had a problem with any of them.

The GY 614's do fit 16 inch rims. Have a new set on our rig! Just be sure your wheel can handle the 110 psi.
