I was going to go with the sailune but I don't want to have to buy new rims right now so it will be a standard under 100psi tire. thanks Steve 2014 F350 6.7 Platinum 2016 Cougar 330RBK 1991 Slumberqueen WS100 fj12ryder • View posts Platte City, MO Senior Member Joined: 08/19/2003 View Profile Posted: 09/24/22 06:41pm Link  |  Quote  |  Print  |  Notify Moderator I happen to think that it isn't necessary to run max sidewall pressure for a tire. IMO you can vary your pressure to reflect the amount of weight on that tire. I ran "G" rated Sailun 16" tires at 95 psi for years, and they still looked good when I sold the trailer, and they were over 6 years old. I was running a triple axle toyhauler with about 2,500 lbs. on each tire, I weighed them so I know. I didn't need to the full 110 psi, and the resultant rough ride. It worked great for me.

For 5.2k-6k axle I use a good all season tread 16" LT235/85-16 E at 3042 lbs per tire. Michelin XPS Ribs and Bridgestone R238 are a commercial grade all steel ply carcass tire and are tops for those size axles For My triaxle GN stock trailer with 7k axles I use Sailun S637 ST235/80-16 load G tire at max sidewall. In a heavy tire like a load G I personally wouldn't use any pressure less than 90 psi. Those are a very heavy stiff commercial grade tire and like all commercial grade tires they can run hot with lower pressures. What ever tire that lasted 39 years I would stick with that brand...

We bought them in TN at the Farmer’s CO-OP in Sevierville. The sidewall is 110 PSI cold but I follow the PSI recommended for the FW which is 85 PSI cold. I have been very pleased with these tires.

If you want to upgrade to a G like Sailun or Hercules, and adjust psi downwards per their load range chart, you should be able to stay below your wheel rating. --2005 Ford F350 Lariat Crewcab 6.0, 4x4, 3.73 rear --2016 Montana 3711FL, 40' --2014 Wildcat 327CK, 38' SOLD rhagfo • View posts Portland, OR Senior Member Joined: 07/06/2012 View Profile Good Sam RV Club Member Offline Posted: 09/25/22 09:05am Link  |  Quote  |  Print  |  Notify Moderator Our 12,360# GVWR 5er came stock with LT 235/85-16 tires we used the same as replacements.

That's plenty to support the weight of my tri-axle toy hauler.
