The ST 235/65R16 size tires are 28 inch diameter with a width of 9.3 inches. The closest to this size we carry are 235/80R16 which have a diameter of 30.8 inches and a width of 9.3 inches. This will slightly increase the overall height of your trailer by about 1-3/8 inches. That will be the only difference so you will need to have the that additional clearance in height at your wheel well to accommodate.

My recommendation for your replacement tires is the Taskmaster Provider ST235/80R16 Radial Trailer Tire - Load Range E # TTWTRTM2358016E. This tire is rated for 3,520 lbs at 80 psi and speeds up to 81 mph. They come with a 2 year warranty and are designed for axles up to 7,000 lbs capacity.
