Trailer Tire Question - super single?

[Chris611]

I have an '08 Loadmax 14k lb 25' gooseneck. It has the original Freestyle tires on it. Last night I blew the sidewall out of one of them. After reading, it seems like 5 years is the limit (or over the limit) for the life of ST trailer tires. I am going to replace them. I thought I remember reading on here some time ago about some super singer or heavy duty single trailer tires. They were basically single tires for a 21 or 22k lb trailer that ran tandem singles. I have googled this and can't find any such tire. I would be interested in getting tires that have a much higher load rating so I don't have to worry about tire load, speed, etc... Sort of over do it and forget it. Anybody got any ideas for a 235/80R16 or a 235/85R16 3500+ load rated tire?

Thanks

You would have to step up to a 14 ply tire to get a higher load capacity in a 16 inch tire.You could get some new wheels for a 17.5 inch tire which are usually 16 ply with a 5k or so capacity.

I run the goodyear load range G tires but they are pricey. Think your looking at 1000-1500 for set of 4. But they are best 235/85/16'a I have used. Ran out of tread in about 9 years and change them to a new set. With the loads I run they are worth every penny. I tried a set of 10plys and they made it a couple months before they blew out.
I have 2 8K axles and usually running 15-20k every time it leaves which may be daily or only once a month depending on weather. Lately been using it to haul a 1650gal water tank. As its been really dry around here.
