We can get you pretty close to what you are looking for, but for a 16 inch tire, the highest load capacity is the Provider ST235/85R16 Radial Trailer Tire - Load Range G # TTWPRG235R16 which has a 4,400 lb capacity (per tire) when inflated to its max 110 psi.

Also, since there is not a trailer tire size 225/75-16, it is important to be aware that the ST235/85R16 measures 9.25" wide and 31.7" in diameter when fully inflated, so you are going to want to take that into account to determine if you have the correct clearance for this tire to fit. With trailer tires, the general rule of thumb is you want at least 3" of clearance from the top of the tire to your fender and at least 1" of clearance between the inside of the tire and your trailer's frame rail.

I have added a link to a video review of this tire for you to take a look at as well.
