Michelin's installed today. Very happy so far. Drove about 5 miles so not a great test but felt smooth. Install went well except the tire shop missed the locating pin the first time so rear wheel was on crooked. They were pretty embarrassed but got it fixed quickly...
Tires are made in France FYI. Makes sense since they are a euro rated tire technically.
Glad I replaced them as some of the tires were coming close to the pull date and right before I took it in I noticed a split on the sidewall of the passenger outer dual.

CLICK HERE for Michelin's extra capacity "E" rated tire. (500-600 pounds more per tire compared to the standard "E" rated tire)

One of our members switched to the following tire.
The LT235/85/16E is 3040#. It fits the OEM wheels that the 225 75 16 rolls on and at a little over one inch in diameter larger will offer you about 1/2” more ground clearance while fitting the wheel wells. Seems to me to be a good option bc it offers two advantages over the stock LT225 75 16E.

Actually not. You can see from the Michelin load tables that the dual application of the C-Metric 225/75-R16C has 1000 lbs. more per pair or 2000 lbs. more per 4 rear tires at 80 psi. 5950 vs. 4940 lbs. per pair.

So what Load Range do you think it is? It says right in the table it is an LRE.
... But tire retailers aren't quite this savvy, so they fall back on what is familiar - Load Ranges - and label these C type tires with Load Ranges (incorrectly!)
I hope that explains things.
