LR-D tires in that size will carry 2540 lbs each at 65 PSI. I just did a quick search for your trailer's GVWR. Around 7500 lbs. Fully loaded (and considering 12% tongue weight), each tire has approximately 1650 lbs of load to support. Believe it or not, the reserve carrying capacity of the OEM tires is more than sufficient on your coach. It's more than 50%. An LR-E tire would increase it to 2830 lbs or 71% reserve capacity. Personally, I would save the few dollars and just buy LR-D tires from a reputable brand (Carlisle...cough...cough). You have no reason to go bigger with your tire/wheel size. Good luck.
