Helpful Expert Reply:

The LT245/75R16 Cooper Tires Load Range E I researched online have a load capacity of 3,042 lbs each. This will give you a total trailer capacity of 12,168 lbs and will work fine to haul your 7500 lb tractor.

If you want tires rated for your complete axle capacity of 14,000 lbs, I recommend the Karrier ST235/85R16 Radial Trailer Tire - Load Range F # AM10501 rated for 3,960 lbs each or the Provider ST235/85R16 Radial Trailer Tire - Load Range G # TTWPRG235R16 rated for 4,400 lbs. Both of these surpass the weight required for the axle capacity but have stronger ply ratings for stiffer sidewall and less heat buildup when traveling.

Although they are similar in width, the 235/85R16 size tires are going to be almost an entire inch larger in diameter than the 235/80R16 size tires. This means that your trailer won't be completely level while you are towing and your tires…
