Westlake Radials

This radial ply tire from Westlake is constructed with double steel belts and double polyester cords for increased durability. A protective layer of nylon is wrapped around the steel belts to help prevent tread separation.


Westlake Standard Tread Close-Up

The standard tread on this tire has solid, continuous ribs, and there are very few sipes (or thin grooves) cut into the rubber. This tire is designed for use on trailers, so it doesn't require the level of traction that would be needed on a vehicle that is braking or steering.


Radial Tires vs. Bias Tires

Radial tire vs bias tire graphic

Radial ply tires are designed for trailers that are towed on the highway. The cords on a radial tire are positioned at a 90-degree angle to the direction of travel so that they lay across the width of the tire from wheel lip to wheel lip. This construction prevents the cords from rubbing against one another when the tire flexes, unlike the cords on a bias ply tire. As a result, radial tires have less rolling resistance and heat buildup, which leads to a longer tread life and improved steering at higher speeds.

  • Possible Replacements for 5.75 x 15 and 8.75 x 16 Trailer Tires for Boat Trailer
    The LT on your tires stands for "Light Truck" and while there aren't any specific replacements for 5.75 x 15 tires, what that size means is you have 15 inch diameter wheels and tires that are 5.75 inches wide. The closest we offer to that size is a 205/75-15, which is for 15 inch diameter wheels and are 8 inches wide. You may need new wheels as well because these tires are designed to fit 15" x 5", 15" x 5-1/2", 15" x 6", and 15" x 6-1/2" wheels. The option we have with the highest load...

  • Recommended 235/80R16 Tires to Replace LT Tires on 5th Wheel Trailer
    I definitely recommend upgrading the LT tires on your trailer to Special Trailer (ST) tires. Special Trailer tires are specifically designed to handle higher loads and air pressures. This is because they are constructed with thicker and stronger sidewalls when compared to standard automobile or truck tires. I do not recommend continuing to use LT tires on your trailer. I recommend looking at the Westlake ST235/80R16 Radial Trailer Tire # LHWL401. This is the same size tire that you currently...

  • Will Going to a Tire with Higher Ply Rating Prevent Blow Outs on a Livestock Trailer
    The main reasons why trailer tires blow out is heat generated from under inflated tires and overloading the tires. Trailer tires should be inflated to the maximum psi indicated on the tire. A tire in the same size but with a higher ply rating would be able to combat some of that but can eventually have the same issues. So when inflating trailer tires be sure to go to the max psi. With that said the 14 ply tires will definitely hold up better than the 10 ply. For an ST235/80R16 tire, load...

  • Recommended Brand of Tire for a Size ST235/85R16 or ST235/80R16 Tire
    The best tires that we have come from Westlake. For the ST235/85R16 size you could use part # LHWL410 which has a Load Range of G (4,400 lbs at 110 psi). For the ST235/80R16 size you could use part # LHWL401 which has a Load Range of E (3,520 lbs at 80 psi). The thing that sets this tire apart from all of the other options is the warranty. The performance itself is comparable to other brands that we carry, but it also comes with a 5-year warranty. This tire comes with complimentary roadside...

  • Upgrading Tires on Keystone Cougar 364BHL
    Hi Andrew; Load Range G might give you a bit of a bumpy ride since you're moving up by two ratings so I share the same concern. We don't carry any tires with a Load Range F but that would be a better choice. Realistically, your Load Range E tires like the # LHWL401 are just fine. Assuming you have a max load of 3,520 lbs over 4 tires that will be 14,080 lbs for the overall tire capacity. It looks like the dry hitch weight on the 2022 Keystone Cougar 364BHL is 2,200 lbs so at a minimum...

  • Will Inflating ST235/80R16 to Maximum PSI Cause Tire to Overheat
    That is a good question but inflating a ST235/80R16 trailer tire such as the Westlake # LHWL401 will not cause it to overheat. Trailer tire manufacturers have tested the psi and rated it to so that inflating it to the max psi takes into account the build-up of heat, and these are also radial tires, which flex more and run cooler than bias tires, which is another reason for their rated psi. You want to inflate these tires to the maximum cold psi to give you the best performance, allowing...

  • Is It Okay To Inflate Tires To 60 When They Are Rated For 80 PSI
    No, you always want your trailer tires to be inflated to the max PSI listed on the sidewall regardless of traveling .When you inflate them to their max PSI they are able to maintain their load capacity so that they are not overloaded. Overloading the tires can lead to excess heat which is the number one reason for tire failure. The PSI increasing a little when you are traveling is not going to matter as long as your staying within the limits of the tire such as load range, and speed rating....

  • What Causes Trailer Tire Failure and Recommendation for Size 235/80R16
    Typically trailer tires fail for the following 3 reasons. 1) Keep your tires fully inflated to the maximum pressure listed on the tire sidewall. Unlike a passenger car tire, trailer tires feature a stronger sidewall designed to provide greater stability when under load. Failure to fully inflate the tires can cause heat build-up, leading to premature tire failure. Also, a tire only will only realize its specified load rating when inflated to its maximum psi shown on the tire. 2) Do not...

  • What PSI Should the Westlake ST235/80R16 Radial Trailer Tire Be Filled To
    In regards to Westlake ST235/80R16 Radial Trailer Tire part # LHWL401 (Load Range E), you will need to fill them to the max psi listed on the sidewall while cold which for this particular tire is 80 psi. If there is a different max cold psi listed on the sidewall then that is what you will need to fill the tires to, no exceptions. If you have increased load ranges, this will like create a harsher ride but you'll still need to fill them to the psi listed on the tire.

  • What is the Correct PSI Rating for ST235/80R16 Trailer Tires
    The psi rating on the sidewall of all trailer tires is the cold PSI rating, meaning the tire should be inflated to that psi rating before the tire heats up. If your tire says 80 psi, then the manufacturer intended for that tire to be inflated to 80 PSI before you hit the road. If you start out at a lower pressure, then the biggest concern that you will have is that the weight rating of the tire will also decrease. It is recommended that trailer tires be inflated to their recommended PSI. If...

  • What Wheels and Tires Will Be Under 102" Wide On 95" 7K Trailer Axle
    In regards to a trailer axle with 95" hub face like the Trailer Axle Beam part # e95GR, you'll likely need to use offset wheels and narrow tire to stay under the 102" max trailer width. The best we could get is 103.3" using the the Dexstar Conventional Steel Wheel part # AM20766 and Westlake ST235/80R16 Radial Trailer Tire part # LHWL401. If you switch to the Trailer Axle Beam part # e35GR you can get down to 102.3" which should not get you into any legal trouble. If you don't already...

  • Recommended Tire Temperature Setting For TPMS With Westlake ST235/80R16 Trailer Tire
    For the Westlake ST235/80R16 Radial Trailer Tire # LHWL401 you have I recommend setting your TPMS temperature alarm for 158 degrees Fahrenheit. This is a common temperature used with most TPMS like the TST TPMS for RVs # TST-507-FT-6-C as individual tires will not have a temperature rating. Most tires will see a temperature increase of around 50 degrees Fahrenheit from the ambient air temperature. Of course this will vary based on correct air pressure in the tire, grooves in tread, road...

  • Trailer Tire Recommendation for a 5th Wheel Trailer with 235/80-16 Tires
    I know how you feel. Almost all tires are made overseas now and not just trailer tires. Westlake, Kenda, Karrier, Loadstar, Contender, and Taskmaster are all popular trailer tire brands comparable to, if not better than, other more well-known brands such as Goodyear. For your 235/80-16 tire size it is tough to beat Westlake tire # LHWL401. This is a load range E tire rated for 3,520 pounds at 80 psi and has a speed rating of 75 mph. This tire has a 5-year warranty, which is the most you...

This load range will provide more than enough combined capacity for your trailer, even when it is fully loaded. It is constructed with double steel belts and double polyester plies for a long life.

    I have another option for you, but the Westlake ST235/80R16 Radial Trailer Tire - Load Range E # LHWL401 you were looking at are only 10-ply tires. Instead I recommend the Westlake ST235/80R16 Radial Trailer Tire - Load Range G # WE76FR which is a 14-ply tire with a load rating of 4080lbs at 110 PSI. The # WE76FR is constructed with double steel belts and double polyester plies making it a strong tire, and also includes a 2 year complimentary road side assistance should anything happen....

  • Correct Tire Pressure for ST235/80R16 Trailer Tires
    Special trailer tires should always be inflated to the maximum psi pressure figure shown right on the tire sidewall. Always check pressure and inflate as needed with the tires cold, such as first thing in the morning. As you drive and as the daytime temperature increases the pressure within the tire will then increase from the cold starting pressure but this is normal and does not require you to compensate for it. Each 10 degrees of Fahrenheit ambient temperature change equates to about...

  • What Load Range 235/80-16 Tire for Grand Design Momentum 397th 5th Wheel
    You would be correct in going with whatever the tire manufacturer lists on the sidewall as being the recommended tire pressure. If you're referring to our photo of the # LHWL401, I was unable to make out the pressure rating shown in the photo. This tire does have a maximum pressure of 80 psi. A Load Range G tire like # WE76FR would have a max pressure of 110 psi. The load range E tire has plenty of capacity to handle the GVWR of your 5th wheel. Although it's not necessary, there's...

I recommend going with a load E or higher rated tire to be safe and account for load shifting. If you have 15 inch wheels, I recommend the Westlake ST225/75R15 Radial Trailer Tire - Load Range E # LHWL304. These tires have a 5 year warranty and 2 year roadside assistance. They are rated for 2830 lbs each at 80 psi and have a speed rating...

  • What Spare Tire And Rim Will Fit My ST235/80R-16 With A 4.77" Pilot Hole And 8 Bolt Pattern
    It sounds like you need Vesper Steel Dual Trailer Wheel - 16" x 6" - 8 on 6-1/2 - 4.77" Pilot - Silver # TA56FR. This matches your wheel diameter of 16" and has a 4.77" pilot diameter and is 8 on 6-1/2" like you need. However, this measures 6" wide, whereas you say that your current wheel is 8" wide. I checked SRW's website and didn't see any 16" x 8" wheels like that so I would double check that you do in fact have 8" wide wheels. We do not have any 16" x 8" wheels. If you need a tire...
