As you currently have two axles and E rated tires on your 16,500 lb. Vilano 5th wheel trailer, I suggest stepping up to a higher load range rating such as a ST235/85R16 G rated tire. For this tire size, I recommend the Westlake ST235/85R16 Radial Trailer Tire part # LHWL410 as this tire will better match your weight capacity needs. All Westlake tires come equipped with a 5 year manufactures and 2 year complimentary roadside assistance warranty. The warranty included with Westlake tires is far superior to their counterparts hence my recommendation. As long as you have a 16" x 6", 16" x 6-1/2", or 16" x 7" rim and you have the additional clearance for a .4" taller tire, these will work well for you.

I have also included a video review of this tire for you as well.
