If you need replacement tires that have at least a 29.4" diameter that your current 7.00-15 tires have then you need size 235/80-16 tires. These have a diameter of 30.9" so they will sit about 0.5" closer to your fender than your current tires. You will need to note the width does change a bit. Your current tires are 7.8" wide while the new size is 9.25" wide. Be sure to check and make sure that you have enough room on your fender for that. We recommend at least 1-1/2" from the side of the tire to the frame and 4" from the top of your tire to the fender.

The replacement ST235/80R16 Radial Trailer Tire I recommend going with is the Taskmaster Provider # TTWTRTM2358016E because it has a max speed rating of 81 mph and comes with a limited warranty with free tire replacement. The load range is E which means that for a single tire it is 3,520 lbs at 80 psi and for dual tires it is 3,080 lbs at 80 psi. You will need a 16" wheel for this size tire so I recommend part # AM20741 if you have a 6 on 5-1/2" bolt pattern or part # AM20750 for an 8 on 6-1/2" bolt pattern.

I have attached a review video for you to check out as well as a link to our helpful article on tires sizes that you can reference.
