We do not have a tire that is going to be able to fit the wheel your 6.00-16 tire is on now as those tires fit much narrower wheels than what modern 16 inch tires are designed to fit. So you'd have to go with a new tire and wheel combined. If you aren't sure what your wheel bolt pattern is I have linked a help article below which describes how to measure to find it.

You also need to know the load range you need, which should meet or exceed your trailer's GVWR. For example, if you had an 8 on 6-1/2" bolt pattern you may be able to use the Karrier ST235/85R16 Radial Trailer Tire w/ 16" White Wheel - 8 on 6-1/2 - Load Range F # AM35099.

This tire and wheel is 31.6" in diameter, 9.4" wide, and has a 3,960 lb capacity. I have added a link below to our entire selection of tire and wheel combos for you.
