ST235/80-16 and ST235/85-16 trailer tires will fit on the same size wheels. Both will fit on 6, 6-1/2, 7, and 7-1/2 inch wide trailer wheels. We carry 2 tires in size ST235/85-16. They are both radial tires. Tire # AM10295 is a load range E rated for 3,640 pounds at 95 psi. Trailer tire # AM10501 is a load range F rated for 3,960 pounds at 95 psi. The larger size is taller by nearly 3/4 inches.Make sure you have room above the existing tires for the larger size.
