What is Overall Weight Capacity of Kenda Karrier ST235/80R16 Radial Trailer Tire with 16" Black Mod

Question:

I notice the tire rating is 3500 lbs. but the wheel rating is 3050 lbs. So I would have to figure the lower rating wheel for the weight rating? 12,200 total due to wheel instead of 14,000 for tires.

Yes you are correct. Since the wheel weight capacity of the Kenda Karrier ST235/80R16 Radial Trailer Tire with 16" Black Mod Wheel # AM34834 is lower than the tire you would be limited to the wheel capacity as the overall capacity of 3,050 lb instead of 3,500 lb. If there were a total of 4 of these used the capacity would be 12,200 lbs like you mentioned instead of 14k.
