Rick, originally, Newell used G rated tires on the drive and tag and recommended H rated 11R24.5 tires on the front. It is common that the front tires in the H rated 11R24.5 were right on the edge of being overloaded. Goodyear and Bridgestone historically made H Load Range 11R24.5 that gave good service. I ran Michelin 305/75R24.5 XZE2 or XZU3 since my front end was overloaded. I am back to the 11R24.5's since the Michelin 305/70R24.5's were not available the last time I needed tires (nationwide backorder). I believe the 305's were LR J and added about 2000 pounds of load carrying capacity to the front axle (about 1000 pounds per tire) since Newell indicated that our front axle load rating was tire limited. Those were rated for 16,540 pounds per axle. A quick internet search did not find any 305/75R24.5 tires in stock. I have seen some that were meant for off-road that had a max speed of 55 mph but that wouldn't work for Newells.
