Specs:
This tire-and-wheel assembly 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, 7 days a week, and 365 days a year from anywhere in the United States, Canada, or Puerto Rico.
This tire has a 1-year No Excuses Guarantee. If within the first 12 months the tire is damaged in any way that's not covered by warranty, it will be replaced at no charge. You will also be compensated a flat labor rate for the cost of mounting the replacement tire.
The stud holes on this steel wheel are beveled to ensure that the wheel stays tight against your trailer hub. This also eliminates the need to constantly retorque the lug nuts.
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.
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 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.
Determining the Bolt Pattern
The first number in the bolt pattern is the number of bolt holes. The second number denotes the diameter, in inches, of the circle on which the bolt holes sit.
To determine the bolt-circle diameter on wheels with an odd number of bolt holes, measure from the center of any bolt hole to the point halfway between the two bolt holes directly across from the first. (Example: "5 on 4-1/2" means 5 bolt holes with 4-1/2" measured to a point halfway between the opposite bolt holes.)
On wheels with an even number of bolt holes, measure from the center of one bolt hole to the center of the hole directly across from it. (Example: "8 on 6-1/2" means 8 bolt holes with 6-1/2" from the center of one hole to the center of another on the opposite side.)
Measuring the distance from the center of one bolt hole on the wheel to the center of a bolt hole right next to it can also help to determine the bolt pattern.

Hello neighbors, Steven here with etrailer.com. Folks, today we're looking at our Westlake ST235/85R16 radial tire with a 16 inch steel mod wheel and eight on 6 1/2 inch lug pattern, load range G in a nice silver powder coat. So folks, this tire and wheel assembly is gonna be great for campers and trailers. It's nice steel wheel here with the modular design. Modular being these round circles here on the outside. It's gonna give you a nice design, and it's sturdy and corrosion resistant.
It has a rust resistant finish on the front and the back, and it also has an E-coat primer over both sides with that silver powder coat on both sides of the wheel. Now the beveled stud holes here in the center are gonna help keep the wheel securely in place on your trailer hub. They're gonna eliminate the need for constant re-tightening of the lug nuts. And speaking of lug nuts, I'll throw up some dimensions here on the rim and the lug nuts that you need to use with this. You can use 1/2 inch or 9/16.
The Westlake radial tire here is constructed with double steel belts and double polyester plies for a long life. And the nylon tread firming belt overlays are gonna help prevent tread separation of the tire itself. It also has tread wear indicators inside the treads. That's gonna make it super easy to see the tread depth and let you know when it's time to replace your tire. Now the radial plied tire here is great for highway use, and again, it's an ST, or special trailer tire, so that means it has sturdy sidewalls that can handle those heavy loads.
And again, it's specifically created for trailers and not intended to be used on any other kind of vehicle. Now the manufacturer's gonna give you an amazing flat tire complementary roadside service for two years, and that's available anywhere 24/7 anywhere here in the US, Canada, or Puerto Rico. Now this whole assembly meets all DOT specifications, FMVSS specifications, and SAE J1204 standards. Now as you can see, the pilot hole here has a 4.9 inch diameter. If you need a center cap, that's gonna be sold separately if you don't already have one.
The overall diameter is 31.7 inches wide while the section width is 9.3 inches wide. Now this is a load range G or a 14 ply tire, and the tread depth is 13/32 of an inch. Now the maximum load on the tire itself is 4,410 pounds at 110 PSI. It has a max speed of 75 miles per hour or a speed rating L. Now this gives you a five year warranty on your tire and a one year warranty on the wheel itself. And again, the manufacturer gives you that complimentary roadside assistance for the first two years. Well folks, I'm Steven. That's gonna wrap it up for our quick look at this tire and wheel combo. Have a good one.

Complimentary roadside assistance included.Just a spare, hope I never need it. Great customer service from William B on this one. Had to change to a different tire on the order tire. Switching was a breeze
Will pass on wear in for as we travel/use, customer service from etrailer top notch, ha d concerns of tire manufacturers dates and rep Mellissa assured me their inventory rotates quite often and as advertised she’s right, my tires delivered were manufactured August of 22, nice work e and Mellissa y’all have my business again..
I was having constant problems blowing rear tires. So I up graded the rear E ranted tires to G. I haven’t had one issue with them over the past year. I believe the manufacturer puts the minimum tire to sell the camper. If his was a great upgrade for me.
I purchased 4 of these Westlake G rated tires to replace the original same tires on my fifth wheel travel trailer. I had excellent wear and durability with the first set so I purchased the same again. Martha was my salesperson and she was great. The order process went smoothly and the tires shipped promptly. I had them shipped to a local tire shop and they were received in a timely manner. I’m having them installed this next week. Thanks Martha and eTrailer for a quick smooth order process.
I got 24000 miles from my old westlake tires
Paul B made the experience with ordering and receiving our Westlake tires great. He helped us with the speedy delivery to guarantee we had them in time to start our adventure.
Fast shipping. Easy transaction... Had no problems with these tires in the past, so we went with these again. Always monitor with a TMS.
Far exceeded my expectations, the tires arrived in two days and they’re all spot on! Caylin was efficient and I was informed throughout the process. I replaced all six of my Goodyear Marathons with the Westlake G Rated Trailer Tires because of it’s enhanced construction, it provides confidence in towing heavy loads while Rv’ng coast to coast. My 2010 Keystone Raptor stands a little taller now. HOOH-AH.
Chrissy from etrailer did a fantastic job getting taking my order and getting it shipped promptly. I had a tire blow out on my fifth wheel, and no local place could order the correct size. So kudos to etrailer and Chrissy for getting me back on the road !!!!
The only tires we use. We travel 10,000 miles a year and these tires give us peace of mind.
Second time ordering these tires. However if you take advantage of the free shipping from etrailer.com don’t expect your order fee to be delivered on the estimated delivery date. My ordered arrived 2 days late and the customer service rep acted like I should of paid for expedite shipping because they are busy this time of year.
Tires came new but 1.4 years old. It’s august 23 and the tires were 16th and 17th week of 2022
Wow I ordered 5 Westlake tires on 4/9/23 and they were delivered on 4/12/23 with free delivery very fast etrailer has my business for ever these tires are for my 5th wheel
Easy to order tires and fast delivery. Best place to buy tires at a real good price plus free delivery. Thank you
My 4 Westlake tires were delivered on time and in perfect condition. The DOT codes on three tires were the exact week and year of manufacture and one was only manufactured three weeks earlier. These are great results as age is more of a facture than tread wear in the RV world. I will be using the new tires on my heavy 16k lb. 5th wheel and moving one of my best old tires to be the Spare.
Really impressed with the 4k+ load rating and 14 bias ply tread of tire and the "G" rating as well. Big upgrades from my last tires.
etrailer did an excellent in shipping and communication in tracking of the order.
Tire is exactly as advertised.
Great company, excellent service! Order arrived when promised.
I’ve used these tires on my GD376TH with great success. I’ve also ordered with them before and always super reliable.
This is a serious tire. Just what I needed for my two axle 18,000 lbs rated trailer that I carry tractors around on.
The tire arrived a day earlier than forecasted. It was the correct size and in good shape. My local dealership could not provide a Westlake tire y are a Grand Design dealer and Westlake was the tire from the manufacturer. ETrailer delivered!
These tires and wheels have worked great
Great service
Nice to get free shipping
Excellent tire. Very heavy duty and seems to be holding up well. Only have had them for a few months but so far so good.
