While the Provider ST235/85R16 Radial Trailer Tire - Load Range G # TTWPRG235R16 that you referenced might be smaller than what you have currently it would still fit and work great.

It sounds like the left side may have a bad ground in the system or a loose ground. I would check over the complete wiring system and make sure all grounds have a good metal contact and no rust. Also check the wires to make sure the protective…
