OK. If I were you, I'd try out the Good Year Endurance everyone is talking about. Fair price but really good specs. Plus, nobody can say they're Chinese tires.

I put load range E tires on mine. The data plate says to put 65psi in the tires.
Make sure that you get trailer tires and inflate them to the pressure recommended on the VIN/data plate.
I ran 2500 miles this summer and had no problems with this setup.

For anyone who might stumble upon this thread in the future, I settled on some Sailuns S637.

I went with the Sailuns S637 on my 39R12 at 95psi and put little over 5,000 miles last year with know issues. I run a TPMS on mine, on hot days at 65 mph the psi will never go over 107psi.
Just remember you have to change your valve stems with higher psi rating.
Mine came with 7,000lbs axles

Check out Simple Tire.

After my initial incident we saved up for a TPMS as the next 'big' purchase. We then slowly bought one S637 at a time until we had 7 and got them installed. Most were from Simple Tire but we did buy from a couple of other vendors as well. Peterson's Tire in Blanco Texas did the work and they carry the Sailuns in-stock and highly recommended them. They are certainly good ol' Texas boys who cut me a great deal and didn't nickle and dim the process. When doing the work I also had them install all metal valve stems with high pressure schrader valve.

I'm glad yours came with 7,000lbs axles installed, really wished mine had them.

One more thing to think about, I had my tires shipped to a Monroe's tire and muffler and there machine would take the tires off rim but couldn't put the S637 tires back on rim, I had to go to heavy truck garage to get them to put back on rim.. I believe there a 14 ply tire..

Agreed on going to a place who is used to dealing with thick ply tires. Peterson's Tires deal with tractor tires and semi so it was easy for my rig.

Thanks for the link on the skirt. I ended up repairing mine with some fiberglass mesh and two part epoxy, then a fresh coat of paint. Interestingly I found the shirt was a replacement as it does not match the passenger side skirt. I might end up buying a matching skirt only because I'm anal that way.
