You have almost 10,000lbs on your truck's rear axle? That is excessive if I'm reading it correctly.

You should have said what brand, and whether they were "E" rated ST tires or "E" rated LT tires. I would bet that you're running "E" rated 235/80-16 ST tires.
If it is 9600 lbs. dry, you're probably looking at least 11,000 lbs. loaded and on the road. Even at 12,000 lbs. you should be fine with "E" rated LT tires. They are rated at 3040 lbs. at 80 psi. That gives you 12,000 lbs. carrying capacity. If you weigh 12,000 lbs., you'll be carrying around 2400 lbs. in the bed of the truck leaving less than 10,000 lbs. on the trailer axles. You should be good to go with "E" rated 235/80-16 LT tires.
IMO "G" rated tires would be overkill on your 5th wheel.

After 3 blow outs and 2 flats in 3 years, I have come to the reality that my 5th wheel provider put the wrong tires on my RV. The trailer is 9600 Dry, so we call it 10,000 Pull weight. I have load range "E". Im going to Load range "G" if I need different rims and valve stems, so be it.
My thought is with the "E" tire, Im already at max load, then add in the bouncing of the roads between Houston and the Mississippi Gulf coast, is just too much of a dynamic Load range "E" tire.
Someone say, Good Job..& Why It took you so long to join the real world. LOL
Actually I really want a thread that shows Load range "E" is not the best choice for a 10,000# 5th wheel. Or am I off base that much
Thanks in Advance for the input.

Some years ago I went to G rated tires. I bought cast aluminum wheels for the 110 PSI rated tires. Last year I had a blow out on one......
