If they do, what tires do you recommend and how much would they cost?
Thanks for your help in advance!

At 80 PSI your Original Equipment tires provided more than 14% in load capacity reserves. Why not just find a brand you're comfortable with to replace them. Just about every brand name ST tire manufacturer build tires in your size.
NOTE: #1, The ST235/80R16 LRE tires are manufactured with three different load capacities at 80 PSI. 3420#, 3500# and 3520#. I'd shop for the 3520# tire.
NOTE: #2, you may get lots of recommendations to go to the Sailun brand tire. To take advantage of that tire you will need to get new wheels. The Sailun is a steel cased tire for much heavier trailers than yours. Sailun tires are mostly mail order tires. The Carlisle CSL (also a steel cased tire) can be found at Discount Tire stores and Walmart.
