Expert Reply:
For your 2011 Blue Ridge 3525 5th wheel, I recommend the Kenda Karrier ST235/85R16 Radial Trailer Tire - Load Range F # AM10501 as your tire replacements. These tires are rated for 3,960 lbs at 110 psi.. They are rated for speeds up to 81 mph and come with a 2-warranty. I've attached a video and video to assist further.
These tires on your 16,000 lb tandem axle trailer will be great to support the weight on your axles. The pin box will carry around 20-25% of the trailer weight and then the tires will carry the remaining weight. These tires will give you a more rigid ride but will also give you more strength as desired.
