My 12K lb. new fifth wheel came with Chinese will pops, but the aluminum wheels are rated for 110 lb. pressures (for G tires.) Some 16" wheels are 80 lb. wheels and some are 110 lb. wheels.
I ordered 4 Bridgestone Duravis R250 16" tires @ Costco @ $195 each--far less than the dealer would charge. I can get them mounted and balanced for $50 per 4 tires--and no junk fees/charges.
If I was running a heavier fifth wheel like a Landmark or comparable trailer, I'd be running the Goodyear G rated tires. My R250's weigh something like 57 lbs. apiece, and the sidewalls are 1" thick and steel belted bead to bead--very heavy duty.
I can always save substantially purchasing tires of every kind on the internet.
