I prefer to put the same tires on my 5er, as my TV. Our 5er has a GVWR of 12,360# I removed the OEM LT235/85-16E, and replaced with LT235/85-16E Yokohama YK-HTX. Yes they run close to $200 a tire, but fully trust them to their 3,042# capacity as fast as I could pull this trailer, 80mph+, not that I do that.

FWIW, the exact same $67 tire ordered through Walmart is about $100 at various online venders and $120 at discount tires. Also, I’m sure you’re aware, the ST designation is intended specifically as a trailer tire vs. the LT, which can be used on a trailer, isn’t intended as such. My tires are rated at #3520 single and #3080 doubled. So I have every confidence in the tires and the $$ savings can be used for fun stuff.
