Recommended Trailer Tires for a 2016 Bay Hill 5th Wheel Trailer with 16K GVWR
Updated 08/21/2019 | Published 08/20/2019
Question:
Is the 14 ply Hercules Tires a good option for a 2016 Bay Hill 42foot fifth wheel. It is not a toy hauler but loaded weight is 15-16000. We had a bad blow out with our 10 ply china bomb - provider tire.

I'm honestly not familiar with Hercules tires since we don't sell them. I've heard the name before but I don't know them well enough to have an opinion other than what can be found online. At this time we do no have any USA-made tires in your size.
From what I could find it looks like your 2016 Bay Hill 5th wheel trailer has two 7,000 lb axles. If this is the case then the part ST235/85R16 by Westlake # LHWL410 is an excellent option. It has a ply 10 rating but is also rated for 4,400 lbs at 110 psi so it will be great for your application. Just be sure you have enough room for the 31.7" diameter and 9.3" width. Even though they are not made in the USA, they are made to USA specifications.
