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

The tires are good quality and are being used on a flatbed transport trailer for hauling smaller heavy equipment for cemetery operations at one of America's national cemeteries. Thank you ETrailer for your support of those who kept America safe, America's veterans.
by: Michael 08/04/2022
Ordering was easy. Took two days to arrive from the time I ordered. Tires were fresh with a date of 0822 which was one of my concerns ordering online. Very pleased with the whole process. Replaced Westlake ST235/80/R16 with these. Had good luck with the G rated tires. Previous tires had 12k miles on them but a mfg date of 2018 so it was time.
by: Manzanitajack03/18/2022
I found the specific special trailer tires I had been looking for from etrailer. Heck, even the 'professional' tire companies couldn't order them for me, even though they handled Westlake tires!
Tires arrived on-time, but I did have a bit of an issue with getting them mounted onto the existing rims, but the problem was not with the new tires themselves, but with the "TYRON" inserts the existing tires had.
Two tire companies refused to do the mounting, but I finally found a tire repair company that apparently had the expertise to handle the job; KEN'S TIRES in Ridgeland, SC.

15000 miles and no problems with "G" rated Westlakes. They were installed by the OEM when we purchased the 42', 16000lb, 5th Wheel. I have added TPMS and so far, no worries. The reason we ordered (2) new tires, we had a dual leaf spring failure and the tires didn't fail, but both rubbed on the frame and we are replacing them out of caution. I've owned China Bombs on previous 5th Wheels and like many, we suffered miserably the consequences of cheap tires. We started to go with Sailuns instead, but have had such great performance with these, we decided to stay brand loyal. RAH!
Comments
Over 20 thousand miles weve slowed down our travels this year and I am still very impressed with the wear and performance these westlakes have to offer. As the saying goes, nothing last forever and I will be replacing them soon with the same tires.

Delivery time was excellent. Have not had tires mounted yet but everything looks great. Thanks
by: John F10/03/2019
I replaced my tires on our 40' 5th wheel RV because the ones that came with it were 3 years old. They showed almost no wear even though we had crossed the country. I bought these tires because they are the same tire. The only caution I have for buyers is that the West Lake rims that go with these tires are very difficult for installers to dis-mount and mount on pneumatic tire machines. It takes two skilled mechanics to do it, and it is very easy for them to ruin the aluminum rims.
by: Brad J09/26/2019
Westlake tires are what came stock on my trailer from Kaufman. I have about 60K miles on my trailer and have only gone through 1 set of tires and the second set I bought has about 50% tread left on them. They perform well, last a long time and hold up to the heavy loads I place on them. I would say I am 100% happy with them!
by: Picacho Koa05/30/2020
I can't say anything as far as wear or vibe as I have not pulled my RV with them on.
I will say that they had a 7 months old date code which is great in my book.
Comments
I have pulled my RV from Florida to Arizona with no issues.I do not see any cupping or wear. I do not cover them when parked like I probably should but I have heard the reviews of trapping the heat is just as bad a blocking the sun. Most of my RV sites keep the sun off 70 of the time so. I feel like Im going to change them out every 3 years for cheap insurance regardless.

Excellant service, prompt delivery. It is a pleasure working with everyone at e-trailer.
by: Steve 03/15/2020
These Westllakes originally came on my 5th wheel and I never had a problem with them, so I'm going back with them again. The originals never lost air, no separation, or any defects at all. I'm only replacing because of age. I hope these hold up as good. etrailer was fast to ship them... only delay was because of a UPS problem that etrailer had no control over. I've ordered from etrailer in the past and their customer service is always top notch. The also stand behind their policies, which is really important when buying stuff like this online.
by: Bruce03/19/2018
Great service. I received the Westlake tire ahead of the estimated delivery date. I will definitely be back to look for anything I need.

Specialty G Rated tire needed after broken spring. No-one locally could order one! etrailer responded to Google search for tire brand (Westlake) and model number! Excellent response by etrailer and shipped free, which is nice! Will return.

I put 6 of these on me 18k toyhauler. I have driven about 10k miles on them with zero issues. The tread still looks new. They are hard core heavy duty 5ther tires for a budget price. I swear these things weigh twice as much as the load E's they replaced. I will be buying them again when these wear our... which looks to be a long time from now.
by: Brad11/12/2019
Put these on our dump trailer. Have really enjoyed these tires. Low wear, great weight rating, and overall good performance. Will buy again.
by: Steve M.09/01/2018
Seems like it's a quality tire. Only issue I have that gave me a slight reservation about quality/durability is the extremely obvious seam where the tread was mated end to end to itself during construction. I don't recall ever seeing this on a good quality tire before.
by: Timothy 06/25/2020
Just received the tires. Getting them mounted and balanced today. Teresa was great to deal with. Helped ensure that I got exactly what I was looking for. Tires were delivered quickly and in good looking order. I’ll update as I get some miles on them.

by: Spencer04/15/2019
The tire has performed really well with not having to worry about the tread separating like other manufactures.
by: Steve10/20/2019
Would have liked all 4 tires to have the same manufacture date since 1 was from this year and the other three were made last year.
Otherwise, I was satisfied with the process.
by: Douglas 10/23/2019
Tire delivered sooner than expected. Appears to be in good shape. Thanks for having what I needed. Was not able to find this tire size at other web sites. This tire is replacing one on my camper that has worn like it is out of alignment. After the new tire is put on the camper is going in for an alignment.

- Replacement Wheel/Tire for a 2017 Forest River Columbus 320RSThe Westlake ST235/85R16 Radial Trailer Tire part # LHWL410 is rated for up to 4,400 lbs when filled to 110 psi on a non-dual rear wheel trailer. The Goodyear Goodyear G614 Radial Trailer Tire is rated for up to 3,750 lbs when filled to 110 psi on a non-dual rear wheel trailer. Even though the Westlake # LHWL410 is not made in the USA, they are very highly rated by our customers. Regrettably, I do not currently have any Goodyear to offer you in the size that you need.
view full answer... - Recommended Trailer Tire for a 19K 5th Wheel with Triple AxelWe recommend that you use Special Trailer (ST) tires over Light Truck (LT) tires. LT tires are not rated for the weights and the heat that can be generated on trailer axles. I recommend the Westlake ST235/85R16 Radial Tire - Load Range G, # LHWL410. This ST tire has the sturdier side walls that can handle heavy trailer loads. The tire has a 14 ply rating and a max load capacity of 4,400 lbs when inflated to 110 psi. we recommend that your tires be inflated at the max pressure to make...
view full answer... - What is Weight Capacity of Westlake ST235/85R16 Radial Trailer Tire # LHWL410The Westlake ST235/85R16 Radial Trailer Tire # LHWL410 that you referenced has weight capacity of 4,400 lbs at 110 psi. There isn't a lower stated capacity for when you have the tire inflated to a lower pressure than that. With trailer tires like this basically you only get the full capacity when the tire is inflated to it's max capacity. If you run a lower pressure you lose capacity as well as increase the chance for heat build up which will cause the tire to fail prematurely.
view full answer... - Trailer Tire Recommendation to Replace Size ST235/80R16I really like the Lionshead Trailer Tire part # LHWL410 which is the size you need of ST235/80R16 and is actually a higher Load Range of G as opposed to your E. This tire has a higher speed rating of 75 mph which is nice compared to most trailer tires that are only rated for 65. Also, this tire comes with complimentary roadside assistance for 2 years. If your RV or trailer has a flat tire, call the help line and a technician will come change the flat for you. You can call 24 hours a day,...

The Westlake ST235/85R16 # LHWL410 have a diameter of 31.7 inches and a width of 9.3 inches. Your current tires have an outer diameter of 30.79 inches and width of 9.25 inches. The size difference is very minimal, but you still want to make sure you have the clearances for the 0.91 inches in additional diameter which...
view full answer... - Correct PSI for Westlake ST235/85R16 Load Range G Trailer Tire # LHWL410Your Westlake ST235/85R16 Load Range G Trailer Tire # LHWL410 should always be inflated to its max 110 psi. Trailer tires like these should always be inflated to their max psi, regardless of your trailer's weight, to maintain its weight rating (4,400 pounds for this tire). Under-inflating the tire will essentially decrease the tire's capacity to an unknown number which could lead to you overloading it with the trailer weight. I have attached a great article on trailer tires that you might...
view full answer... - Can Trailer Tires Filled with Nitrogen Have Air Added to ThemYes, if you needed to add air to a tire that's filled with Nitrogen that's perfectly acceptable. The benefits of the Nitrogen in your tires will be reduced though based on how much you dilute it. Nitrogen doesn't leak through rubber as easily as air and also doesn't have as much of a pressure change based on temperature too.
view full answer... - What Typically Causes Trailer Tires to FailMost likely the tires were too old and they had started to break down so when they were in use on the highway they began to come apart. Typically the shelf life of a trailer tire is 6 years and they normally need replacing due to age before wearing out. Other possible scenarios is that they tires were over loaded or the speed rating was exceeded which also will cause them to fail early. You didn't mention what tire size you have but if you have the 235/85R16 size the Westlake tire part...
view full answer... - Recommended Tires with Load Range G for 2013 Keystone Montana 3402RL TrailerYou should always inflate to the max psi when cold (prior to your trip). Yes the psi will increase as the tires heat up from road friction and the heat of the day, but this is accounted for. If you were way low on tire pressure it could be the cause of blowouts, and 6 lbs light will definitely be a factor, but I would assume it has more to do with your loaded weight and full tanks. The load range E would be maxed out with a loaded trailer based on the weight. I recommend upgrading to...
view full answer... - Recommended ST235/85R16 Tires for 25 Foot Gooseneck TrailerIf you have ST235/85R16 size tires on your gooseneck trailer, I recommend looking at the Westlake Radial Trailer Tire # LHWL410. This is an excellent radial ply tire that features a maximum load of 4,400 pounds at 110 psi when used as a single tire or 3,860 pounds when used in dual on your trailer. This will give you more than enough of a combined capacity for the 20-25K you plan on towing. These tires also have an excellent speed rating of 75 mph. The thing that really sets this tire...
view full answer... - Trailer Tire Capacity Recommendation for 16k Trailer with 16 inch Diameter WheelsWhat size tires do you have and how many axles does the trailer have? Best way to pick out tires based on capacity is to divide the total amount of trailer weight by the amount of tires it will have. That's the capacity you would need. So lets say you have a tandem axle trailer with 4 total tires and you have 16 inch trailer wheels. In that scenario the part # LHWL410 would be the best option as it has a capacity of 4,400 lbs at 110 psi which would be over the 16k weight you listed. Also...

It has a higher speed rating of 75 miles per hour, is a radial which is the preferred construction, but what I think you'll like the most is the 2 year roadside assistance program that comes with the tire. This radial ply tire from Westlake is also constructed with double steel belts and cords for increased durability.

view full answer... - How Much PSI Should Trailer Tire Increase When Heated Up from Highway UseWhile there isn't a hard number on how much PSI increase is safe when tires heat up from highway use I can give you some guidelines that will give you some peace of mind. So what you need to do is inflate the tires to their max psi rating when cold (first thing in the morning) and as long as you are under the weight capacity and speed rating the fluctuations of the the tire pressure due to heat will be safe and you won't have to worry about it. Since you have the tire part # LHWL410...
view full answer... - Best Trailer Tire Options for 16 inch Wheel of Travel Trailer 2012 Keystone AlpineThe best option would be the Westlake part # LHWL410 which has more than enough capacity for your trailer to utility it's full 15k capacity, has a high speed rating, and comes with a great warranty...not made in the USA , but it is made to USA specifications.. This tire is the the next size up from what you mentioned but the size difference is so small it won't be an issue.
view full answer... - Should Trailer Tire be Inflated to Max Cold PSI Rating if Wheel Has Same PSI RatingThe max pressure rating for both the wheel and tire is the cold rating. If you have 110 as the max for the tire and the wheel you'd want to inflate the tire to 110 when cold and you'd be fine. Also, it most likely is your valve stem that has the 110 psi rating which could be swapped out to a higher rating.

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.
