I just bought a used 2010 Raptor 300MP and want upgrade the ST tires. I was thinking of going to a 235/85R16 BFG Commercial T/A tire but it's only rated for 3042lb @80psi which doesn't give me much margin over the 6K axle. I haven't weighed the trailer fully loaded yet but plan on doing so next week.

My other thought is going to load range G tires (Goodyear G14) but I don't know if my wheels are rated to 110psi.

Any thoughts?

I have a 2010 Fuzion 383. It had 235 80 R 16 Carlise on it. I took them off Friday and put 750 R 16 Hankook tires thy are 14 ply steel belted. They are almost three times as heavy as the Carlise tires and a lot cheaper than the Goodyear G614. They are rated for 3330 pounds at 106 PSI. My 383 has 7000 pound axles on it . I have read some reviews on the G614s about having blow outs on different forums. The hankook has good reviews. Good luck with what you choose. George

Never go down on tire load carrying capacity. Stay the same or go higher.

I was looking for tires for our Fuzion 360. Goodyear G614s were the only choice for me for direct replacement. Went with new wheels and goodyear G114 17.5" load range H tires. The initial cost is substantial, but the peace of mind is priceless. JMHO
Will have a set of 110 psi rated wheels available in about a week.

The absolute minimum tire requirement for 7000# axles is tires that will support 7000#.
