Tires for gooseneck 10,000 pounds

What tires would you want to put on a 20 foot gooseneck that is going to have a 1000 gallon tank on it. I have 7.00 - 17 inch primex HE 100xt on them. But I'm thinking that these tires aren't going to be good enough. This tire will see highway 95% of the time.

But I'm not sure if I need a D or E rated tire.

Any help would be great.

At least E tires, I would never use D rated tires.

What are your axles rated for? That will tell you where you should be for a tire.... Had a Dump trailer that I ran some Denman's on which we consistently overloaded and had good luck with them. But I think the Denman's where only 15 inch rim, you should be at least a 16 inch rim.
