Will Westlake ST235/80R16 Radial Trailer Tire 14 Ply Tires Damage Inside of 5th Wheel

Question:

I am currently looking at upgrading my 5th wheel toy hauler from 10 ply tires to 14 ply. My trailer is 10k empty and loaded it is rated at over 13k. I am interested in better weight bearing tire and longer durability. My question is will the heavier sidewall and tire cause damage to the inside fixtures, etc inside my camper from having a stiffer ride and less absorbing tires? Also, will this be harder on sharp turns when backing in campsites with the stiffer sidewall?

Nope, the 14 ply Westlake ST235/80R16 Radial Trailer Tire - Load Range G # WE76FR will not cause damage to any inside fixtures inside your 5th wheel toy hauler. It will also not be harder on sharp turns when backing into campsites.
