I was looking at the goodyear but it seems their loads range g has a lower weight rating then other load G I have looked at???? So looking for recommendations.
Current Tires: ARISUN CR960A ST235/85R16 129/125L
Load Range G
DOT 8DJL CN2 AND IN CIRCLE NEXT TO THAT IS 1515 (I AM GUESSING THAT IS DATE CODE)
5ER info : GVWR 17000lb GAWR 7000lb (Dual Axle)

rsl,
Your Arisun tires are warrantied by the manufacturer for 5 years from the date of manufacture. You say you bought it in April 2016 and the tires were manufactured the 15th week of 2015, so your tires are still covered. You can download the manufacturer's warranty here:

Click on the third tab: "WHAT IS COVERED UNDER THIS WARRANTY AND FOR HOW LONG" and it will explain the terms.
I'm not suggesting you replace the tires with the same type/brand, but if the manufacturer will replace them for "pennies on the dollar", it's an option you might want to consider.
If you do contact the manufacturer, please let us know what kind of service they provide to you.
Good Luck
