I'll bet your original tires were LT? Our 2003 only had 32" center to center axle spacing and those LT235/85R16 tires were too tall. In late 2004 Keystone started using LT235/85R16 LRE tires on all 6000# certified GAWRs and went to 34" axle spacing. When loaded to the maximum cargo capacity the LTs were much like the ST235/80R16 LRD tires on our 2003. By early 2006 the ST235/80R16 LRE tires became standard for the 6000# axles.
Welcome to the forum. Here is a reference to use.

The tires on my 2005 Everest 344J are ST235/85R16E. I believe the treads are separating because there is no spacing between the tires. The tires are now touching each other and I can't drive it now. The tires are 6 years old. There was only 1 inch of spacing between the tires normally, so the axle spacing was probably bad engineering. Should I replace with ST235/80R16G tires. These tires have an O.D. of 30.8" compared to the St235/85R16E tires O.D. of 31.7". The G rated tires have a dual load capacity of 3640 lbs. But , the 110 psi of the G rated tires might be too much for my 3042 lb wheels. That's why I was wondering if anyone has put G rated tires on these type of wheels, and if they had any problems doing so. Any comments?
