Expert Reply:
I would go with an ST tire over anything else as it's the only tire style that's specific for only trailer use. In the size you mentioned of ST235/85-16 I would go with the # LHWL410 as the best since it has a higher speed rating of 75 MPH when compared to other trailer tires.
Also it has a great roadside warranty program. 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.
