E load vs G Load

[Riff Raff]

I have an 84 crew cab wedgeback car hauler. 30ft long, 18ft deck that I haul my Jeep on. I got a good deal on the front tires but it is time for some rear tires now. Do I need to use the G Load tires or will E Loads hold up? The truck weighs 8000lbs empty, the Jeep should be 4-4500lbs, plus gear and people for a trip.
The tire guy told me the E loads are rated to 3100lbs each in a dual set-up, and the G Loads were 3400lbs each in a dual set-up. With only a 1200lb difference in load it doesn't seem to make sense to spend $1000 more for 4 tires.
I may be getting ready to tow my son's truck also, but that should be no more than another 500lbs on the truck. I do plan on adding firestone airbags to help raise the back up. It tail drags bad even empty.
Any help or insight would be a great help. I posted a small pic of the truck when I bought it.

I didn't realize you could still get G-rated tires in a 16, except for trailers. That isn't a 19.5", is it? I can barely see.

Yeah, go with the E-rated ones. I've seen dudes haul much more with 10 plys than what you're going to do.

Load range E tires will be fine for you!
