Question:

Can I mount a st235/80R16 14 ply tire on a 6 lug aluminum allow rim. I have a 2014 Keystone Montana High Country 5th wheel. These are the tires I would like to put on it.

We do have a 14 ply tire in the ST235/80R16 size with the Provider Radial Trailer Tire # PRG80235. This particular tire features a maximum load of 4,080 pounds at 110 psi and an excellent speed rating of 81 mph. The will fit 16 inch wheels that have a 6 inch, 6-1/2 inch, or 7 inch width.

We do also have a nice selection of aluminum 16 inch wheels with the 6 on 5-1/2 inch bolt pattern you are needing, however the highest capacity unit we offer is the HWT Aluminum Series S5 Trailer Wheel # AM22658HWTB that has a weight capacity of 3,580 pounds. Using this wheel with the above mentioned Provider tire would reduce the combo's overall capacity to this lower limit, as you will always be limited by your weakest component. We do not currently have an aluminum 16 inch wheel that matches the 4,080 pound maximum load of this 14 ply tire.

I have attached a couple of short video demonstrations on these products that you can also check out.
