I'm sorry it's a 15 inch tire size 235/85-15 and it's not a trailer type tire.

Expert Reply:

Since your trailer has 8 wheels and weighs a total of 25,000 lbs that means you'd need a tire capacity of 3,125 lbs per tire in the size of 235/85R16. For that I would recommend the Westlake ST235/85R16 Radial Trailer Tire # LHWL410 which has a capacity of 4,400 lbs at 110 psi per tire.

The tire also has a speed rating of 75 miles per hour and a 2 year roadside assistance program. 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.

Closest trailer tire size we have to that is an ST225/75-15 which for that I would recommend the # LHWL304 which has a capacity of 2,830-lb max load at 80 psi per tire. This is the highest rated trailer tire we have that fits a 15 inch wheel.
