Products Featured in This Question
Question:
I currently have 750/16 LT tires on my flatbed trailer and want to convert to radial tires. Would the 235/85R/16 be the correct match?

You are 100% correct! The closest match and best option to upgrade your 7.50-16 LT bias ply tires, is going to be an ST235/85-16 radial tire, like the Kenda Karrier # AM32743B you were checking out. This tire is pre-mounted on a 16 inch diameter by 6 inch wide black mod wheel with a bolt pattern of 8 on 6-1/2 and a load range E (3,640 at 95 psi). You'll just want to make sure the bolt pattern matches and you're staying at or above the load range on your existing set-up.
If you're wanting to re-use your existing wheels, as long as they are 6 inches wide and they are in good shape, you wouldn't have any issues simply mounting an ST235/85-16 radial tire, like # AM10295 on them.
