Expert Reply:
There are 2 common size 16 inch trailer tires found on 5th wheel trailers. They are 235/80-16 and 235/85-16. They have the same width, 9.25 inches, but the heights are different. The 235/80-16 is 30.9 inches tall whereas the 235/85-16 is 31.6.
There will also be a difference in capacities. I have included a link to the 16 inch tires only that we carry. Based on the size and capacity information listed for each you should be able to find the best match. All of the tires on the trailer will need to be the same construction type, size, and load rating or you can run into tire wear and suspension problems.
