So what kind of tires to get?

We have a 2020 Montana 3811MS with about 15k miles on it. It has Made in China Sailun's on it, original from factory. Last week noticed inside left side of one tire is worn almost to the belt. Luckily we're sitting at the home place so had the spare put on and now are in the market for new tires.

There's so much tire advise and information, it's confusing and frustrating. My new-to-us trailer guy advised putting on a 10 ply/E rating. If I'm reading the sidewall right, the ones we have on now are 4 ply with 1 ply sidewall. He's not actually selling me the tires, just mounting them so he's not really in it for the money. He's also aligning it due to the tire wear. Is 10 ply overkill?

Brother told me to check into Michelin because he runs them on the front of his dump truck and has had more success with the brand than any other. He didn't know the history of Michelin trailer tires, though.

I keep reading about the Made in Vietnam/China Sailun's and not sure if I should look for the Chinese ones or go with a different brand? We're prepping for a 7 month trip and need to get something good on the Beast.

Appreciate advise from those more knowledgable about these things. I know enough to be dangerous.
