Check out the "Dry" empty weight of your selected Tires. Tire Rack.com, etc.
I only run Michelin XPS Rib and Bridgestone Duravis R 250 LT tires now.
The heaviest (more rubber) AND most expensive LT tires.
I've also found they very seldom need to be aired up unlike cheaper tires I've had in the past that frequently were down a few pounds every few months.
I've had one Flat due to a nail, and lost one wheel (with the tire) due to some bearing failure. Replacing is expensive, but at least I can't blame the Tires.
My old Big Sky has 6K axles, 80 PSI rims, and weighs just under 14K lbs.
