For your tires, I recommend the Taskmaster Provider ST235/85R16 Radial Trailer Tire - Load Range G # TTWPRG235R16. These tires have a 14 ply rating and a maximum load capacity of 4,080 lb when used as a single tire or 3,640 lbs when used in dual on your axles. They have a max speed rating of 75 mph and are to be run at 110 psi cold.

If you want the tire and wheel combination, I recommend the Taskmaster Provider ST235/85R16 Radial Trailer Tire w/ 16" White Spoke Wheel - 8 on 6-1/2 - LR G # TTWA16RGWSHD. This combo has a max load capacity of 4400 lbs at 110 psi. It is speed rated for 81 mph and has a 14 ply rating. There is no offset and the wheel has a pilot diameter of 4.88 inches along with an 8 on 6-1/2 bolt pattern.
