Expert Reply:
If you're looking for a tire with a higher psi than your current wheel can handle, then you'll need to replace the valve stem on your wheel to be able to accommodate it.
A 235/80R16 tire with a load range of G generally uses 110 psi, so you'll need to use the Americana Metal, Bolt-In Valve Stem, part # AM20906. It will fit in 0.453" and 0.625" rim hole diameters and is rated for psi between 100 and 200 pounds. I've linked to a video review of this valve stem for you to look at.
Keep in mind that though it comes with two grommets for the two hole diameters it will fit, you are only supposed to use the one that matches your diameter. The other will not be used.
