Give trailertiresandwheels.com a look. They mount, balance and ship for free. They have the G614's and Saliuns. I'm running the G614's and just picked up a Saliun as a spare. Both tires appear to be well made and are significantly heavier than the Marathons I pulled off a couple years ago.

The G614's have a good reputation and the Saliuns seem to be garnering one as well. I'll be watching how they do over the next couple of years and if they continue to perform well I'll be putting a set on in place of my G614's.

I just put Sailun 235x80x16 on 6.0 wheels. Les Schwab now carries them here in the west. They are a heavy tire.

I believe Sailun is from China. I still have a phobia of tires made in China. I suppose I have ChinaTirePhobia, and it may not be a phobia if the fear is real.

Sailuns here too... Great tire! I run at 100 PSI with steel rims..

I too have gone to Sailuns and run them at 100 PSI on the factory rims that were rated for 110 PSI.

I would say for sure Goodyear Endurance, but they have only been out since about Jan, so don't have a lot of history behind them, yet. Tire testing and reviews show they should last, I still would like more real usage data.
I just put the carlisle Radial trail HD on my 384qbok. I literally towed my camper home with castle rocks and replaced them. In the short 80 miles of towing with the Carlisle so far I can tell a huge difference, and you could feel a difference in the side wall rigidity just handling the tires. I towed home in 20mph wind and really had some swaying, I towed 80miles with 30mph winds and it felt so much better. Still had swaying , but that can't be helped. Right now I am 100% happy with my decision, now it's just a longevity test.
