Option 2 had been Sailuns due to many posts about reliability but this is 2nd recent post about Sailun failure so losing confidence. Don’t need a Vietnamese bomb. Also they are rated for 110 psi while my wheels are rated for 80. One common thread has been tire failure due to under inflation. A Valid concern to have 110 tires and only inflate to 80? I currently run 75psi on the ST235/80R16 and only drive 60 so have had no issue. I take longer to reach my destination but good mileage and peace of mind. And the tires are only rated for 60mph.
Option 3 for me are LTs and concern there is clearance between tires and also top of tire to floor. Right now I have 5” between tires and 3 1/2” from tire top to floor
Is that valid and any other concerns I should have? The distance between axles is 35”.
Our rig is is a 2015 High Country HM318RE.
Appreciate anyone’s insight. Thanks. Ken

I cant see any reason for replacing your OE tires with another size. I'm guessing your trailer has 5200# axles. The minimum tire requirement for those axles is, yup! 5200#. Your current tires are providing 6840#, when properly inflated to 80 PSI. Does your certification label recommend 75 PSI?
You're not going to find ST tires with a mileage rating. They are age out tires. You're already running the only USA made trailer tires.
