Replacement Trailer Tires Size 7.50-16LT Load Range F

Question:

Hi, I have a “yard” trailer hydraulic that needs 4 tires. I’ve read some discussions here re load range. The size is 7.50R16LT It moves loads in the 12-16,000 lbs range. I want 16 ply F load range or what you recommend

I have a solution for you that is a little higher capacity than the # AM10501 that you asked about.

You could use the ST235/85-16 tires in a load range G such as # TTWPRG235R16 which is rated for 4,400 pounds at 110 psi. Four of these would have an overall capacity of 17,600 pounds. Both this size and the 7.50-16 size that you asked about fit the same wheel size, but the 7.5-16 have been discontinued.

Please note that tires with higher capacities do not increase the overall capacity of the trailer. You will always need to go by the lowest rated component in the system.
