Highest Load Rating for 235/85-16 Trailer Tire

Updated 04/29/2021 | Published 04/27/2021

Question:

I have a 37 Ft, Cameo trailer which is a dual axle. The tires on it are ST 235/80 R 16. I am sure they are only 10 ply. Like clockwork we blow a tire on each and every trip. Usually the sidewall blows out. I make sure that tire preasure is always correct. I am thinking of replacing them with a ST 235/85 R 16 in a 14 ply with a load range G which should be good for 4000 LB per tire. Problem is: I can not find them. Can you advise me as to which manufacturers have these, Thanks,

The highest load rating we offer for a 235/85-16 is F, the Karrier ST235/85R16 Radial Trailer Tire part # AM10501 which is rated up to 3,960 lbs. It's a 12 ply tire with radial construction. We don't offer any load range G options at this time but so long as you are under the capacity, you'll be good to go. Please note, the tires won't be rated for the entire weight of the trailer as you must subtract tongue weight. The PSI is 110.
