For your 2024 Ice Castle I have a couple options you can choose from. If looks aren't a concern and you just want a spare to get you by in the event of a blowout I recommend the Diamondback ST235/80R16 Radial Trailer Tire w/ 16" Vesper White Spoke Wheel # TA64GR. This is a low cost spare that will get the job done.

If you're looking for something that closely matches your current wheel the Provider ST235/80R16 Radial Tire w 16" Viking Aluminum Wheel # A16RTK8BMMFLHD seems to be fairly close. I did find several different wheel styles in pictures of the trailer but this one showed up the most. This tire also has better tread when compared to the Diamondback.

The one thing I don't know is the load range on your current tires. These are both E with a max load of 3,520 lbs so as long as you don't need a higher rating either will work. Both also come with a 2-year limited warranty on the tire and the Viking wheel has a lifetime warranty against structural defects on the wheel.
