Recommended Tires and Wheels to Replace 8.75 x 16.5 Trailer Tires

Question:

I own a Ford Coachman. Im seeking 16 in rims and tires with a load D rating. Presently it has 8.75 by 16.5. Can you help me?

To replace the 8.75 x 16.5 tires on your trailer, I recommend going with an ST235/85R16 size, which will be the closest to what you have but on a 16 inch wheel.

The lowest load rating we have available for this size is a Load Range E. If the hubs on your trailer have an 8 on 6-1/2 inch bolt pattern, I recommend the Kenda Karrier Radial Trailer Tire with 16 Inch White Wheel # AM32739. If your hubs instead have a 6 on 5-1/2 inch bolt pattern, then you will want the Kenda Karrier tire and wheel combo # AM32764. Both tires feature a maximum load of 3,640 pounds at 95 psi, a 10 ply rating, and come with a limited 2-year warranty.

If you are unsure what bolt pattern you need, I have attached a great article that explains exactly how to measure this on your hubs.

I have attached a couple short video demonstartions on these tire and wheel combos that you can also check out.
