I am not familiar with Gladiator tires to give you a fair comparison. Based on research it appears the Gladiator tire is rated for 4080 lbs at 95 psi and speeds up to 87 mph. Tread depth is 12/32nds inch.

The Taskmaster Provider ST235/85R16 Radial Trailer Tire - Load Range G # TTWPRG235R16 has the same tread depth, but it also offers tread depth indicator bars and tread is regroovable for additional mileage. It is rated for 4,400 pls at 110 psi and speeds up to 81 mph. These tires come with a 2 year warranty and are bake tested--a process usually reserved for automotive tires--to ensure that the rubber holds up over time.
