I selected to go with the 16F and have no concerns with clearances, great tire and Yeap heavy guys

Yes another good point but I checked that 1st and have lots of room only one tire is close, front right side tire and that 4 to 6 inches away

They are not the same from model to model or year to year so don't just go by a posting on a forum.

Thanks for the clarification, should have stated 80 to 85s. Lack of a folding ladder throws you off at times

Yes, the RH tires are still in some warehouses at least as of a couple months ago. Newer tires are the HD

The G614 has a great reputation. Yes in that price range and you may need to spring for wheels as well unless your wheels are rated for 110# PSI

My wheels are rated at 110 PSI max and I was thinking of running the tires at 95 to 100 PSI.

My trailer is a HC so dry weight is 10700 lbs so if I run the tiers at 95 they should wear ok.

What do you think?

I always run tires at max stated on the sidewall. Less flex and less heat,,, JMO.

Here is a long thread with a lot of good discussion about this topic. Check out JRTJH comments especially towards the end for some very good reasons not to under inflate your tires. Especially at those prices.
