Comparing ST235/80R16 tire options between the Westlake # LHWL410 and the Taskmaster Provider # PRG80235, there are a few things to consider.
Westlake is a great value tire brand. This tire # LHWL410 is a Load Range G with a weight capacity at 4,400lb max load at 110psi . The Westlake has a speed rating at 75 mph and also has a great 5 year warranty as well.
The Taskmaster brand of tires are also great quality and our customers have provided great feedback over the years. The part # PRG80235 has a Load Range G and a weight capacity at 4,080lbs per tire at 110 psi. Speed rating is
higher at 81 mph but the Taskmaster warranty is limited to 2 years.
Even with the higher speed rating on the Taskmaster, my recommendation is the Westlake brand because of the higher weight capacity and more robust warranty mean more security on the road. Trailer tires definitely take abuse and are under quite a bit of pressure both when used and in storage so the more durable of the two is my preference.
