We can get you pretty close to what you are looking for, but for a 16 inch tire, the highest load capacity is the Provider ST235/85R16 Radial Trailer Tire - Load Range G # TTWPRG235R16 which has a 4,400 lb capacity (per tire) when inflated to its max 110 psi.

Also, since there is not a trailer tire size 225/75-16, it is important to be aware that the ST235/85R16 measures 9.25" wide and 31.7" in diameter when fully inflated, so you are going to want to take that into account to determine if you have the correct clearance for this tire to fit. With trailer tires, the general rule of thumb is you want at least 3" of clearance from the top of the tire to your fender and at least 1" of clearance between the inside of the tire and your trailer's frame rail.

I have added a link to a video review of this tire for you to take a look at as well.

Yes, our Dexter leaf spring part #DX74XR is the same as the part number 072-079-00. This is a 7-leaf spring for an 8,000 lb trailer axle that is 24-7/8 inches.

Your math is correct in your trailer weight load example. If a fully-loaded tandem axle trailer weighs 4000-lbs then each of the 4 tires will bear 1/4th of that load, or 1000-lbs. In this case a tire rated for 1300-lbs would provide a good safety…
