I would have no fear running Weslake tires on any trailer. In my research over many years, they have a great reputation and its not common to find a reported failures. There are far more (easy to find) reports of the G614's failing.
I find it very odd you did not feel comfortable with Westlakes because you are nearing their capacity...whatever that means. 80%? 90%? Do you even know? And they have a larger "bulb" where the rubber hits the road, which means what exactly. Its more prone to fail if it has a certain size bulge? Good tires do not bulge at all?
Those are very unprofessional and unwarranted perceptions, even for an internet forum.
TPMS gave no warning before the Westlake let go. I opted not to use the same tire when replacing these 4.
