Question:
I have a 1995 interstate 20dt equipment trailer with original 16.5inch wheels. Will 8 of these replace the current wheels?

Expert Reply:
For your 1995 Interstate 20DT equipment trailer, the Provider ST235/80R16 Radial Tire w/ 16" Vesper Silver Dual Wheel - 5.35 Offset - 4.88 Pilot - LR E # TA95FR is a good fit if the load rating of 3,080 lbs per tire is within your carrying range. For 8 tires, that means a total load of 24,640 which is likely not an issue. The overall height of your trailer will decrease with the outer diameter of the tire being 30.79 inches. If you measure the diameter of your current tire and then subtract the 30.79 inches then you divide that by 2, you will see the difference in trailer height you'll experience.
