I recommend Provider 235/75R17.5 Radial Trailer Tire - Load Range J part # P35175 to replace the 245/75/17.5 tires on that axle. You do want to replace both tires on the same axle with these because the tread is about 10mm thinner then the 245/75/17.5 tires that you have.

The Provider 235/75R17.5 has a weight capacity of 6,005 lbs at 127 psi and 5,675 lbs at 127 psi when used in a dual application. You want to make sure you are running these tires and the others at max PSI to ensure they do not overheat which can lead to blow outs.
