I'm not sure actual weights would change my tire choice. I want the most durable tire I can get. For that tire size (225/75R16), load range E 10-ply tires seem to be the best you can get. Load range E is rated for 2680 lbs.

I had a small Class C that, when I weighed it, was almost at the maximum weight with basic provisions and no water. It was a tail dragger. So I added air bags and safety steer. What a difference in handling. The tires I did not trust. I went in to have them looked at. They called me to come see them. They were in the parking lot next to the RV. Well they looked good. The service rep asked me to put my nails into the inside side rear tires side walls. They were like gelly and I could see the cord. I replaced them with Firestone tires and never had a problem. I aired the tires up to the Firestone load/pressure chart. They were good tires.
