Chinese tires on TT

[Firehawvvk]

First let me say that I have searched for help and looked at the FAQ section but have not found an answer that can help me.
I picked up my new TT (28' Coachman Catalina) and never made it home w/o a tire exploding and leaving me stranded. Then, after I got home I found out that the tires are only rated for 800 pound limit. That means a total of 3200 pounds on the trailer axles. It says the dry weight is 5442 lbs. Tongue weight of 690 lbs.
Now, am I wrong in guessing that if you subtract the tongue weight you'd be close to the total weight on the two trailer axles? If so, how the heck can they sell a unit that is over the weight limits of the tires. That should be illegal and certainly unsafe as witnessed by my ride home.
Also, any recommendations as to replacement tires (all 5). The ones on the unit are ST205/75R14's and Load Range C. Brand name: Constancy; made in China. I wouldn't mind going bigger/wider, etc. Just wish I had weighed the unit at a truck stop on the way home. I appreciate any help as I am overwhelmed with questions about what to do now. TIA

I,d be talking to the dealer and the builder if your tire numbers are right, they sent you out on unsafe equipt.

After a year of research I went with Michelin LT tires.

LT tires work well on TT.

I'd also carefully check the other tires for unusual wear. I've seen in the past bad alignment causing tire issues. Don't want to ruin the new tires too! Plus your remaining tire has now been over the weight limit so at best it should become a spare. Sadly, when I was purchasing new tires CHINA was the norm as indicated. Lucky for me no issues so far.

Are you sure about that? Doesn't sound right. Most likely 800kg which would be over 1,700 pounds.

China ST tires are unfortunately the norm.
