I am going to guess the rims are only rated for 2150 each and with the smallish bolt pattern I am sure a 16" wheel is out of the question. At this point I am not looking to replace the wheels, I like the looks and don't want to spend the money. I would think that upgrading the tires to a load range D and running at 60 psi would make a huge improvement on the tire blowup problem. At 60 psi with a load range D my capacity improves by 230# per tire. I know the wheel is still an LR C.
I do not believe you have said much about how you use your trailer! Many believe ST tires should be replaced at three years IF they last that long and 12k to 15k miles. That makes them a poor investment on top of the risk they add regrading
failure. Take a look at the Maxxis Bravo 15" LRD LT tires.

Good Point Chris,
WE mostly run short 300 mile round trip or less for weekend outings. I try to never run my rv on gravel any more than necessary. We run fairly light as far a cargo. Full water tank ussualy but not much in other cargo. We do put the rv on a diet every year. We do a lot of mountain driving and when on the hiway I set the cruise at 65 and let it roll. I got into these habits with our previouse RV a 96 class A gasser, it worked well so we just stuck with it. I am pretty finicky with my equipment so things are kept up.
