Best Trailer Tire Options for 16 inch Wheel of Travel Trailer 2012 Keystone Alpine
Question:
When upgrading from factory ST235/80R16 LRE tires to LRG, should the tires still be inflated to 80psi, or to the higher LRG max pressure, typically 100-110psi? Own a 15,000lb GVWR 2012 Keystone Alpine 5th Wheel. Also, any LRG tires available that are NOT made in China?

The best option would be the Westlake part # LHWL410 which has more than enough capacity for your trailer to utility it's full 15k capacity, has a high speed rating, and comes with a great warranty...not made in the USA , but it is made to USA specifications..
This tire is the the next size up from what you mentioned but the size difference is so small it won't be an issue.
