The Goodyear Endurance trailer tires are the only USA made trailer tires out there. We do not carry them in your size or the close trailer tire size of 235/85-16 that would fit your same wheel.

If you want a tire and wheel, we have the Kenda ST235/80R16 Radial Trailer Tire - but we only have them in Load Range E if you want them already mounted on a black mod wheel with a 6 on 5-1/2 bolt patter. Part # AM34834. While they are not made in USA, they are a highly rated with a 10 ply rating, with a capacity of 3,500 at 90 psi. They have a 75 mph speed rating.

If you want more capacity you could go with the tire separate from the wheel with the Westlake ST235/80R16 Radial Trailer Tire - Load Range G # WE76FR. This is a highly rated 14-ply tire with a 4,080-lb max load at 110 psi. These tires have a speed rating of 75 mph. You could keep your current wheels or pair them with a 16 inch wheel like the Dexstar Steel Mini Mod Trailer Wheel - 16" x 6" Rim - 6 on 5-1/2 - Silver Powder Coat # AM20746 and have them mounted at a local shop. This would be my first choice for you.
