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.
This aluminum wheel comes with steel inserts in the lug nut wells. The inserts are pressed into the aluminum, and they help prevent the holes from wearing down over time. This ensures that the wheel stays secured to your trailer hub and that you won't have 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.

Hi everybody, Andy here with etrailer.com. Let's take a look at this Westlake ST235/85R16 Load Range G Radial Trailer Tire with this 16-inch liger aluminum wheel with an eight on six-and-a-half inch bolt pattern. Now, this tire and wheel assembly is going to be great for your RVs, campers, and trailers. And this special trailer tire, or ST tire, has sturdy sidewalls so that it can handle heavy loads. This is created specifically for trailers and not intended for use on other vehicles. Now, this radial tire is designed for trailers that are towed on the highway and it is constructed with double steel belts and double polyester plies for a long life.
The nylon tread-firming belt overlays help prevent tread separation and the tread wear indicator is gonna make it easy to see the tread depth. Now, as I mentioned at the beginning of our time together and as we have stamped here on our tire, this is an ST235/85R16, and the section width is 9.3 inches and the outer diameter is 31.7 inches. This is a Load Range G tire, meaning it has a 14 ply rating and the maximum load is 4,410 pounds at 110 PSI, and this has a speed rating of L, indicating a maximum speed of 75 miles per hour. Now this aluminum wheel is durable, it's lightweight, it's rust proof, it features this attractive liger series eight spoke design in glossy black and an automotive grade clear coat finish on the front that's gonna protect the wheel from scuffs and scratches. The lug nut wells have steel inserts in there, that's gonna help to keep the wheel securely in place on your trailer hub, preventing the holes from wearing down and eliminating the need for constant re-tightening of the lug nuts.
The diameter of our wheel, looking at the diameter first, measuring bead seat to bead seat is 16 inches and then the width of our wheel, again, measuring bead seat to bead seat, is six inches. And the bolt pattern on this wheel is eight on six-and-a-half inches. And in case you don't know, the first number in the bolt pattern is the number of bolt holes and the second number is the diameter in inches of the circle on which the bolt holes sit. So to determine the bolt circle diameter on wheels with an even number of bolt holes as we have here, you simply measure from the center of one bolt hole to the bolt hole directly across from it. The capacity of this wheel is 4,080 pounds.
The wheel stud size is a half an inch by 20, or 9/16ths of an inch by 18. The center cap is sold separately, but if you decide to pick one up, you just wanna make sure that it fits the pilot diameter of 4.9 inches. Now, this tire and wheel assembly does meet the Department of Transportation specifications. This tire meets the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard specifications, and the wheel meets the SAE J1204 standards. One final note, this tire and wheel assembly does come with complimentary roadside assistance for two years, so if your RV or trailer has a flat tire, simply call their helpline and a technician will come and change the flat for you.
You can call that number 24 hours a day, seven days a week, and 365 days a year from anywhere here in the United States, Canada, and Puerto Rico. Well, I think that's gonna wrap up our quick look today, I do hope that our brief time together was helpful for you. Again, my name is Andy. Thank you for joining me.

I'm especially impressed I was able to find the exact wheel I needed as a spare for my camper trailer.
Tire and Rim fit perfectly on my RV. Even the style of the rim matches exactly accept the rim has more black in it than chrome like my original rims, but I don't think I could have matched it perfectly. The help I received over the phone was excellent. Thank you for a great experience in ordering and I received my tire 2 days earlier than the delivery date it stated in my email.
Great fast service and keep me informed of changes if any.
