Recommended Replacement ST235/85R16 Load Range F Trailer Tires

Question:

We have a 41ft fifth wheel with a Max weight of 16,200 and run it at about 15,000lbs fully loaded. Its time to replace the CastleRock 235/85R16 F-rated rated tires. We love Goodyear endurance but they only make a 235/85R16 in an E-rated. What do you recommend and could we go to an E-rated?

The only available ST235/85R16 we offer with an F load range rating is the Karrier ST235/85R16 Radial Trailer Tire part # AM10501. This tire has an 81 mph speed rating with five year warranty. It is rated for up to 3,960 lbs. Unfortunately, I cannot recommend switching to a lower load range rating than what is listed/installed on the trailer from the manufacturer.
