Until you can prove it was a China problem it's a classic tread separation; probable cause, over loaded oar under inflated or both.
How do I determine if I can safely upgrade and run 235/85r16 tires?

First, ask Keystone.

There are zero LT235/85R16 of any load range, qualified as replacements for your LRF tires.

Obviously the best replacement is any ST235/80R16 LRF or LRG with a maximum load capacity equal to or greater than your OE tires.

Again, standard LRF tires all have a maximum PSI rating of 95 PSI. What you will have to watch if using like sized replacement tires is the load index number. Most like yours should have a load index of 127. Other brands at 95 PSI will have a load index of 126 which does not qualify to replace a 127.
