Don't mind E rated tires. Not all E rated tires have the same rating. Look at the ratings on the sidewall, either the lbs @ psi number or else there's a 3 digit rating, but then you need to find the table on the internet to ensure that tire is rated at the correct weight per the 3 digit rating.

It's a matter of finding the correct replacement that meets the weight ratings. Do keep in mind that it's the axle ratings you need to worry about since the remainder of the weight is carried on the pin or the landing gear, and not the axles (wheels & tires).

At least you are looking at the GVWR, not the shipping weight (which is completely useless for determining weight ratings).
