Expert Reply:
You'd need a tire capacity of 3,500 per tire on a tandem axle trailer that weighs 14,000 lbs. So for the tire size of 235/80-16 we have the Provider Load Range G part # PRG80235 which has a weight capacity of 4,080 lbs at 110 psi. The absolute bare minimum Load Range you'd want would be an E range like the part # LHWL401 which has a capacity of 3,520 lbs at 80 psi.
