I'm running stock Goodyear Endurance ST235/85R16 on my 2015 Pinnacle with gross weight of #16k. I'm not sure if they are maxed out. Any alternative suggests? Need to change rims with alternative?
The 235 is only 3640 according to Goodyear's site.You are probably not maxed out on those tires. 4079 pound capacity x 4 = 16316 LBS, deduct the pin weight that is sitting on the truck and you are probably only carrying about 13K on the tires
I'm running the same tires on my 2019 Jayco Seismic model 4212. Had several blowouts with Goodyear plus hard to find them at times. I was recommended to change to ST235/80/16 G rated. In the process of changing them out two at a time.I'm running stock Goodyear Endurance ST235/85R16 on my 2015 Pinnacle with gross weight of #16k. I'm not sure if they are maxed out.

Yep, several blowouts with the GY endurance for me too. And a couple where the tread separated, so just missed a couple more blows!! I’m done with GYs!! I think the heavy Pinnacle needs a heavier tire anyway. The Endurance is only 10 ply.
So I went with 14 ply 235/85-16 Hartland from Discount Tire and love them.
From Texas: been to Montana, Maine, and several trips to Colorado and they are flawless. Hardly even worn!!

I ran those same tires for 7 yrs on my 36fbts 1 blow out road debris the 2nd was a faulty valve stem, have you ran your rig over the CAT scale? That’s the only way to be sure if you have maxed them out.I'm running stock Goodyear Endurance ST235/85R16 on my 2015 Pinnacle with gross weight of #16k. I'm not sure if they are maxed out.

Verytrueget new rims and go to 17.5" tires...they are tough and strong.
I've been using Sailun ST235/85R16 on my 2016 Pinnacle FLSA for the past 4 years. The average tread depth is still at about 9/32" after quite a bit of travel/towing. I just went to the CAT scales and total trailer axle weight when hitched was 12760lbs. We re-measured with one axle on each scale. 6420 on front trailer axle and 6340 on rear, almost exactly 50/50 which we were happy about. I should have taken one more measurement with one trailer side off the scales to get a four point weight but did not take the time. There is some uneveness in the Sailun wear pattern, but nothing drastic. I am going to rotate for the first time and use for a couple more years before switching out to new Sailuns (which will likely not be due to tread wear). I know Sailun has had a great reputation on forums, but have not seen them mentioned in this thread. I keep the pressures at about 100psi. It may be hard to check your rims, but mine has a small indication on the inside of the rim that's hard to find that they are rated for 3750lbs.I'm running stock Goodyear Endurance ST235/85R16 on my 2015 Pinnacle with gross weight of #16k.
