In the 16 inch trailer tire size the best option we have for a Load Rating of G would be the Provider part # TTWPRG235R16 which has a weight capacity of 4,400 lbs per tire when inflated to 110 psi. This is not made in the USA and there isn't a USA made similar capacity tire but this is a really solid tire that will work great. I attached a review video for the tire for you to check out as well.

The 5.30-12 tires, being wider, are going to make more contact with the road. This means that the noise, and heat build up will be higher than a 4.80-12 tire but the rolling resistance will actually be less because the tire is larger diameter. The…

Hey Bryan, that's a good question. The pricing can definitely be misleading, but I wouldn't use it to judge the quality of the tire. A lot of that comes down to promotions, inventory, and whether you're looking at a tire by itself or…
