The Provider ST235/80R16 Radial Tire w/ 16" Vesper White Mod Wheel - Load Range G # TA66FR is my tire/wheel of choice for your situation because it's a reliable combination plus Taskmaster backs up their product with a 2-year limited warranty which includes roadside assistance so if you were to have a tire fail while traveling you can contact their service for this and they will help you get back up and running.

One other thing that I like about this kit is that it comes match mounted and balanced. Most trailer tires aren't balanced on the wheel which is fine, but this tire being balanced on the wheel means you get better performance out of it so it's just more peace of mind that this system is the best.

The 5.30-12 tires, being wider, are going to make more contact with the road. This means that the noise, and heat build up will be higher than a 4.80-12 tire but the rolling resistance will actually be less because the tire is larger diameter. The…
