If you have the additional clearance needed for the bigger tire size you would be able to go to a size 235/85-16. This tire size is 31.6 inches in diameter and has a width of 9.25 inches.

In that size the # TTWPRG235R16 is a great option as it has a speed rating of 81 mph and a weight capacity of 4,400 lbs.

The tire size 225/75R16 is not a common trailer tire size you if you have a passenger vehicle tire on your trailer you would want to swap that out as soon as possible.
