I also suggest as did dieselguy that if you have not already done so that you weigh your unit and see what you are carrying on the axles.

One thing for sure, you will reduce your 7k axles down to 6k by putting tires on that are only rated for 3042 lbs. Least common denominator.

Since you did not mention it, one might assume the tire that failed may have been punctured or blew from factors other than just tire failure or age.

The Bridgestone Duravis appear to be a good tire, but does it make sense to loose that 700 lbs of carry capacity per tire. As always it is the choice of the owner.
