There seem to be a lot of different opinions on this and some are based on actual weight measurements made by folks. Since this isn't something I plan on doing, I'm thinking I will run the GS 614 tires at about 95 pounds per tire.

Oh, sorry. I see you were asking about the wheel capacity and not the actual psi.

If you run the G614 tire at 95 psi, the load capacity will be 3415 lbs per tire, which will not quite make the most of your 7,000 lb axle. The Goodyear inflation chart is available at http://www.goodyearrvtires.com/tire-...n-loading.aspx
You go to Tire Inflation& Loading, and there is a button that will take you to the charts. When you find the LT235/85R16, follow the chart to the right where you get to the G range pressures. At 110 psi, the tire is rated the full 3750 lbs capacity.

So Bob, do you run your tires at the full 110 PSI?

Yes I do, or try to. As long as I am at least 100 psi cold in the morning, I'm good, but generally I try to keep it pretty close to 110 psi. When you are at those pressures, a few pounds isn't going to make much difference in ride or handling, which is much better than with the Marathons this rig came with.

Thanks Bob, I found the max pressure of 110psi stamped on the wheels, I agree with you that running cold at 100 in the morning is a good idea. Thanks for the follow up on this question.
