Before just going out and buying new steer axle tires do yourself a favor hook up and go weight each axle fully loaded. Michelin has a steer tire 315/80 R 22.5 it is either a 22 or 24 ply good for 15,000 lb load a lot of Prevosts use these as they are very heavy on the front. They aIsland use these for the single rear tag axle. Alcoa also makes a 9 or 10 wide wheel for these tires.

I put all six on mine when I bought it had them all the way around on my last one also. When Jeff recommended 10 ply 16" LT tires to me when I blew out a 15" Goodyear trailer tire when the trailer wasn't a year old, Jeff Tueton recomended me going to those tires and wheels. Michleans on my trailer too. Motor homes both drove better, trailer tows better. Especially in cross winds. I thing the original trailer tires were rolling over in strong cross winds, and when passing 18 wheelers. None of that now. I have used Michlean tires on our passenger cars for over 30 years now. Won't use anything else now.
