The code "LRE" means the tire has a load range e rating. This is similar to the ply rating that was once used to gauge weight capacity but that is now carried out by the load range rating. For replacement, we have the Provider ST235/80R16 Radial Trailer Tire part # TTWTRTM2358016E which has the same 10 ply, load range e rating as your current tires. This particular tire also has an 81 mph speed rating and it comes with a two year warranty.

In some cases, it is actually more cost effective to replace both the wheel and tire together as this way you don't have to pay for mounting and balancing(not required). Therefore, we have the Taskmaster Provider ST235/80R16 Radial Trailer Tire w/ 16" White Mod Wheel part # TA39VR for 6 bolt wheels.
