Can ST235/80R16 Tires Replace ST235/80R16 Tires On 40 Ft Tri-Axle Toy Hauler
Question:
Hello, I pull a 40foot triple axle toy hauler with a GVW 17,500 lbs. I currently use 235/85r16s on my trailer. My question: Would I be able to use the Taskmaster 235/80r16 tire when replacing my current 235/85r16 tires? Thx for your input!

Expert Reply:
Since the ST235/85R16 tires and ST235/80R16 tires will both fit the same size wheels you will not have a problem going with the ST235/80R16s.
Both tires have the same section width of 9-1/54 inches. The ST235/85R16 tires have an outer diameter of 31.73 inches and the ST235/80R16 tires have an outer diameter of 30.79 inches. One thing to note is the load capacity of the tires. The ST235/85R16 tires will have a higher maximum load capacity. For example, part # AM10295 has a load capacity of 3,640 lbs at 95 psi, while part # AM10248 has a maximum load capacity of 3,500 lbs at 90 psi.
I have attached a link to the 16 inch tires we offer you can check out.
