Expert Reply:

A ST235/80R16 trailer tire measures 30.8 inches in diameter, and is 9.3 inches wide.

These are large tires built for heavier loads, and you can choose either a load range E or load range G ST235/80R16 tire, depending on the capacity you need. I highly recommend the Provider tires because of their deep tread for optimal grip and because they have a tread depth bar so you always know how much life your tires have left, which is important for safety. You can choose from these options:

- Load Range E (3,520 lb capacity): Provider ST235/80R16 Radial Trailer Tire # TTWTRTM2358016E

- Load Range F (4,080 lb capacity): Provider ST235/80R16 Radial Trailer Tire # PRG80235

I have added links to video reviews of these tires for you to check out as well.

For maximum effectiveness, trailer tires need to be inflated to max psi, which will be somewhere on the tire's sidewall. For example, a load range E tire such as the Westlake ST235/80R16, #LHWL401, has a load capacity of 3,520 lbs when inflated…

I have a great tire that will work. The Sailsun ST235/80-16 unfortunately only fits a 6-1/2 inch rim. However, we do have tires that fits a 16 x 6J rim. For a load range E tire, I recommend the Provider ST235/80R16 Radial Trailer Tire…

Unless otherwise noted all trailer tires are only rated for up to 65 miles per hour. Going faster than that causes heat to build up which then causes the tires to fail. There should be a sticker or plate on the trailer tongue or frame somewhere that…

You will have to go with a sliding hitch to allow the trailer to make tight turns. For a trailer 8 feet wide the only bed length that's going to allow 90 degree turns without a slider is a stationary hitch. That being said you have two options.…
