I Recommend the Provider ST235/80R16 Radial Tire w 16" Viking Aluminum Wheel # A16RTK8BMMFLHD. It comes with a radial 10-ply load range E tire. This wheel and tire package includes a 2-Year Platinum Plus warranty including emergency tire change service and other benefits. The included center cap can be removed for easy access to hub bearings for EZ lube. We do not have any 7.5x16 wheel and tire packages at this time so I went with the 235/80R16 as this is what I could find as recommended for your 25' Featherlite Horse Trailer.

I would recommend getting a TireMinder TPMS # TM49FR. This will help ensure you can see what is going on with your tires as it monitors both pressure and temperature while you are driving. It will alert you to any sudden drops in pressure or when tire temperature reaches excessive levels indicating the possibility of a blowout is eminent.
