Increasing the Weight rating in pounds as posted on the sidewall is more important than brand .
There is a good solution that uses your current 15 inch wheels , that will fit your wheel wells :

They are :
Goodyear Cargo G26 rated 2470 # , made in germany and france.
Continental Vanco 2 rated 2470#, made in germany and slovokia .

That is not measurable .
