The Karrier ST235/85R16 Radial Trailer Tire - Load Range E, item # AM10295, is the closest tire to the 7.50-16LT tire that we have. Your tire has an overall height of 31.8 inches and a section width of 8.4 inches. The # AM10295, tire has and overall height of 31.61 inches and a section width of 9.37 inches.

In the size that you need we do not offer a bias-ply, but radials are typically preferred to bias-ply tires.

A radial tire flexes more than a bias tire, giving it better ground contact, traction, stability, and tread wear.

A radial tire will normally run cooler than a bias ply tire, especially when the tire is under a load. A tire that runs cooler will last longer.
