We offer two compatible tires that have a higher speed rating.
Provider offers a ST235/80R-16, load range E, tire, part # TTWTRTM2358016E. The tire has a 9.25 inch tread width and a 30.79 diameter. The tire carries an M speed rating, good for up to 81 mph. Also available is their ST235/85R-16, load range G, part # TTWPRG235R16. The tire has the same tread width at 9.25 inches, but would be larger in diameter by about 1 inch which would place the tire about 1/2 inch closer to the underside of the 5th wheel. The tire carries an L speed rating, good for up to 75 mph.
If you can go with the very slightly smaller in diameter ST235/80R-16 tire, it'll be quite a bit less expensive and you'll get a higher speed rating.
Provider is an excellent brand. They've been making tires for commercial trailers for years.
