Highest Load Rating for 235/85-16 Trailer Tire

Question

Question:

I have a 37 Ft, Cameo trailer which is a dual axle. The tires on it are ST 235/80 R 16. I am sure they are only 10 ply. Like clockwork we blow a tire on each and every trip. Usually the sidewall blows out. I make sure that tire preasure is always correct. I am thinking of replacing them with a ST 235/85 R 16 in a 14 ply with a load range G which should be good for 4000 LB per tire. Problem is: I can not find them. Can you advise me as to which manufacturers have these, Thanks,

The highest load rating we offer for a 235/85-16 is F, the Karrier ST235/85R16 Radial Trailer Tire part # AM10501 which is rated up to 3,960 lbs. It's a 12 ply tire with radial construction. We don't offer any load range G options at this time but so long as you are under the capacity, you'll be good to go. Please note, the tires won't be rated for the entire weight of the trailer as you must subtract tongue weight. The PSI is 110.

You don't need to switch to LT tires just to get a higher speed rating. We have special trailer (ST) tires in both various weight carrying capacities and speed ratings. Many ST tires are limited to 65-mph speed but some like the Kenda Karrier…

If the tires on the rear axle of your tandem axle horse trailer are running hotter than those on the front axle, this could be due to several possible causes. One of these causes you mentioned; the trailer not being level when hitched. If the trailer…

Answer 7

Today a tire's ply rating does not necessarily match its actual ply construction. This is due to improved materials and manufacturing technology allowing, for example, a 5-ply tire to perform like an 8-ply used to. Most trailer tires these days…

The Kenda Karrier #AM10501 and Taskmaster Provider #TTWPRG235R16 are both 235/85R16 sized tires that are quite similar. The main difference is the Load Range and therefore load capacity. The Kendas have a Load Range F with a maximum capacity of 3,960…

Answer 9

Trailer tires should always, always, always be inflated to the maximum psi as indicated on the tire. If they are under inflated it will cause them to generate excessive heat and fail. Trailer tires are built with a thicker sidewall compared to…

Answer 11

If you do a lot of towing on dirt and gravel roads and not on pavement then the best tire type to use would be a bias ply tire and not a radial. Depending on your tire size though there may or may not be a bias ply tire available. The other option is…
