Can Trailer Tire Size LT225/75-16 be Replaced with ST235/80R16

Question

Question:

My 5th wheel came with 15 inch wheels and tires. They were changed to 16 in. The tires were changed to LT 225/75R16. I cant seem to find a ST rated tire in that size. Would a ST 235/80R16 fit or am I going to have to get LT tires again for replacements?

While LT rated tires can be used on a trailer if you wanted to replace your current tire size of LT225/75R16 with an ST235/80R16 like the Provider part # TTWTRTM2358016E it would fit on the same rim and would work great.

Do you by any chance mean 235/80-16 and 235/85-16? Because there isn't a 275 trailer tire size that I have seen. If so then the widths are the same between the two 235 sizes. The difference is overall diameter. The 235/80-16 is 30.9 inches in…

You never want to change out trailer tires for passenger vehicle tires. Trailer tires have a more rigid sidewall which helps to accommodate heavy loads and keep the tires running cooler. Passenger tires, like Light Truck tires, have a more flexible…
