The best tires that we have come from Westlake. For the ST235/85R16 size you could use part # LHWL410 which has a Load Range of G (4,400 lbs at 110 psi). For the ST235/80R16 size you could use part # LHWL401 which has a Load Range of E (3,520 lbs at 80 psi).

The thing that sets this tire apart from all of the other options is the warranty. The performance itself is comparable to other brands that we carry, but it also comes with a 5-year warranty. This tire 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. The warranty itself makes the tire worth it.

A more economical option would be the Kenda Karrier. For the ST235/85R16 size you can use part # AM10501 which has a Load Range of F (3,960 lbs at 110 psi). For the ST235/80R16 size tire you can use part # AM10248 which has a Load Range of E (3,500 lbs at 90 pis).

The Kenda Karrier comes with a 2-year warranty but what sets it apart from the other tires are the positive reviews that customers have submitted. Just click on the "reviews" tab on the product page to see other customer's thoughts about it!

I have attached some review videos for all of the tires that you can check out as well.

The difference in diameter size of the ST235/85R16 # LHWL410 and the ST235/80R16 # LHWL401 Westlake Lionshead tires that I recommended is about 0.7 inches. If you are talking about the width then the difference is zero as they both have the same section width of 9.25 inches. The ST235/85R16 # LHWL410 has a diameter of 31.6 inches and the ST235/80R16 # LHWL401 has a diameter of 30.9 inches.
