Correct Tire Cover Size for ST235/80R16 Trailer Spare Tire

Question:

I need a cover for my horse trailer spare. It is an ST235/80R16. It seems to be abuot 31 inches in diameter, but it is a little difficult to measure. I need one in Snow White. Can you confirm the appropriate cover to order? We use the trailer to pull horses for our Special Olympics equestrian team and hope to have the team name put on the cover. Do you know if these covers can be screen printed or if vinyl lettering can be applied?Thanks.

Your ST235/80R16 spare tire when fully inflated does indeed have an overall diameter of about 31-inches so your measurement is right on. For reference the linked article includes a chart that shows the overall diameters of various trailer tire sizes.

We offer white spare tire covers in various sizes so certainly you can choose one with a little extra room if you like. The link provided will show you all white spare tire covers. The filters on the page will allow you to select the preferred cover diameter.

Camco vinyl cover # CAM45341 is an arctic white cover that fits tire diameters up to 32-1/4-inches.

This tire cover is not specifically rated as being suitable for silk screen printing. It might be a better idea to apply your team name on a separate piece of material and then adhere that to the tire cover.
