Our trailer weighs roughly 12,000 fully loaded and we drive 65 - 70 tops. They didn't mention replacing rims, only bearings and hubs.
If you don't have an alignment issue, consider switching to LT truck tires, Yes the same tires on the TV!
We bought our 2005 Copper Canyon in 2012 with the original LT tires on it. I checked them and ran for another four years.
When we replaced we bought Yokohama YK-HTX 235/85-16E's these tires have a lower weight rating than ST tires, but a higher speed rating (Much Higher). These tire have a 3,042# rating, I carry a little over 10,000# on the trailer axles with the 5er at about 12,600#.
On Edit: Do you cover your tires when not towing??
