One thing the Tire Rack article said is ST tire are rated for 65 MPH. 8800 lbs. is about 70% of an "E" rated tire and I would think that would be okay at 80 psi and 65 mph. When I ran E rated tires I was at 11,000+ so was at 90% and more. Could be the reason so many E rated tires fail. The "G" rated tires I run are 4,400 lbs. each. So at 12,000 lbs. axle you would be around 68%.

I ran across these tires from Hercules... https://simpletire.com/hercules-225-...SABEgI6rPD_BwE .
The interesting thing is that they are F load range, but fit on a 15" rim. The Hercules brand seems to have generally positive reviews, although not too many. The advantage for me is that I do not have to buy new rims, at least I think that is an advantage.
Anyone on this thread have first hand experience?

I agree with this but on the paragraph prior to this one on the website. I might add 5 psi to the recommended pressure table, but not 10-15. I replaced my D rated tires with E rated tires and I use the Goodyear tables and run at 65 psi. If I added 15 psi I would be a max inflation pressure of the tire and would defeat the advantage of matching load to tire pressure. Also the Goodyear tables are absolute for cold inflation pressure. To be certain of this approach, it would be good to know the weight on each individual tire. By my moving from D to E ratings at the same pressure of 65psi gives me 400lb of additional load capacity so I use the chart as is.
