The 225/70R19.5 tires have these load ratings
F = 3640lbs
G = 3970lbs
Without weighing your truck & trailer loaded ready for travel at a CAT scale you will not know the actual load on your rear axle and tires. Weigh your rig and then you will know what load range tire you need to run.
One other thing, most tire websites list air pressure table for commercial tires, so when you are empty you can air the tire down for the lighter load.
Here is the link to the inflation tables on the Continental Commercial tire website.

[QUOTE=blackhat620]The lightest load range you will find for 19.5" wheels is Load range "F" (12-ply) your truck came from the factory with Load range "G" (14-ply).
