Recommended High Capacity Wheels for 235/85-16 Trailer Tires

Question

Question:

Good morning, we have a forest river cedar creek fifth wheel built in 2012 and purchased in July of 2013. Right now we have LT235/85-R16 Kenda Klever A/P tires. Originally we had 235/80 R-16s on the camper but we had a few blow outs that why we upgraded to a bigger tire. I think we are at our max pressure and load rating for the rims. I took a tire off to look at the numbers on the back of the rim. Here are the numbers and marking on the back side of the rim SR-002-A, 16X6J, SR WHEELS, DOT-T, H AND M. We are looking for a heavier 16inch rim and possibly going to a Goodyear Unisteel tire. Do you have any rims that would fit our 5th wheel and any tires like I mentioned. we are trying to stay away from the china bombs. we have already had too many blow outs. thanks.

I have some great 16" wheel options for a trailer. In regards to wheel capacity, 4,460 lbs will be the max we can offer for 8-bolt, the Taskmaster Steel 8-Spoke Trailer Wheel part # TTW660865WS4 is what I recommend.

Answer 2

Your typical trailer tire like your Carlisle Sport 5.30-12 tires should be run at the max psi rating unless you have some kind of chart like Goodyear tires have. At 80 psi you know the tires have a max load of 1,050 lbs. If you chose to not inflate…

Answer 7

If a trailer tire and wheel each have different weight capacities then the lower-rated item of the two determines the overall capacity of the combination. You can certainly run a tire with a lower or higher weight rating than the wheel its used on…

Answer 8

Trailer wheels are usually rated for much higher PSI than the tire or valve stem used, so they are not typically listed. So long as the valve stem and tire are rated for 100 psi, there should be no issue using these wheels. The wheel your referencing…

Answer 9

Since wheels will be able to withstand the psi rating of any of the tires that are meant to fit it you will need to look at the valve stem as that is the deciding factor. If your valve stem has the rubber all the way up to the threads, like part…

Yes, we have 16 inch by 6 inch trailer wheels that have weight and psi capacity for a Load Range G trailer tire like the part #TTWPRG235R16 which is rated for 110 psi and 4,400 lbs.. This has the same 4,400 lb weight capacity and can easily handle…

Answer 11

Yes. You can remove the Camco #CAM59953 from your Cavagna 924N and use a pigtail with a 1/4" MPT like the #100473-20-MBS. You'll likely need some gas line tape for the threads; you can use #37207-30025 to safely thread everything together…

There isn't really any advice I have on removing the quick disconnect fitting other than getting a wrench and plenty of elbow grease. It's in a POL thread which means it's a left-hand thread so keep that in mind. Once you get the quick…
