Question:
Can I replace my ST235/80R16 load range E tires with mav load 3500 lbs with Michelin radial tire that can handle the vertical load?

I recommend staying with the ST tires as they are made with a stronger sidewall than an automobile or truck tire. ST tires are made to be able to handle higher air pressure and heavier loads.
For an ST235/80R16 Radial Trailer Tire with a Load Range E, I recommend the Westlake # LHWL401. This is a 10-ply tire and has a maximum load rating of 3,520 lbs at 80 psi. The great thing about these tires is they have roadside assistance for 2 years and the tire has a 5 year warranty.
