The closest tire we have to your 235/85-17.5 is the Taskmaster Provider 235/75R17.5 Radial Trailer Tire - Load Range J # P35175.

The 235/85-17.5 size tires you have are 33.2 inches in diameter and have a width of 9.3 inches. The 235/75R17.5 tires we have are 31.38 inches outer diameter and 9.17 inches wide, so they are a little smaller. This is the only option we carry that will fit your current wheels/rims, but cannot be used as a spare due to the size difference. I recommend replacing your tires with this more standard size tire so you can have a usable spare as well.

I have linked the page to all your wheel options with the 3 different bolt patterns and have also linked an article to assist.

Answer 6

Aluminum Lynx Trailer Wheel #274-000006 does not have a listed psi rating. It will be based on the valve stem rating used with the appropriately sized tire for the wheel. Technically the wheel is lug-centric unless the outer diameter of the center of…
