As long as you are running a *GOOD* LT Load Range E tire made in the USA (or anywhere but China), you should be good to go for a long time. And when it is time, replacing them with the same type of tire would not be a mistake.

The Yokohama YK-HTX LT235/85R16 actually is rated at 3042 Lbs. @ 80 PSI as a single tire installation. Dual tire installations (such a dually truck axle) drops the capacity to 2780. So you have will have 12,168 Lbs. (4 x 3280) of carry capacity (with an undocumented ~20% reserve capacity) on axles rated for 10,560 Lbs. (2 x 5280). Many, many of us ran LTs back in the day of 6K axles and if you had a tire problem, it was due to a road hazard.

Feel free to ask me about your 2955. I pretty much knew ours forwards and backwards. If you email me I am more likely to respond timely.
