If you don't have to land with a full load of fuel it's better not to.

And there was no reason to think that the landing would go wrong, because the tires are redundant.

Fuel dump or burn it off by circling. Going elsewhere would be inconvenient to passengers unless they had a replacement plane and/or crew in LAX which was likely. Unless you're Delta flight 89 and then you dump fuel over populated areas at low altitude.
