Recommended ST235/85R16 Wheel and Tire Combo for a Spare
Updated 02/03/2026 | Published 06/26/2024
Question:
I have a trailer with Lionshead Lynx 16x6 8-6.5 aluminum wheels paired with Goodyear Endurance ST235/85R16 tires. I need a spare which could match or not. I am just concerned if the lug nuts would be the same for an aluminum wheel vs a steel spare. It doesnt appear that the wheels I have are available.

Expert Reply:
You are correct we do not have that Lionshead Lynx wheel and there's no worries about the lug nuts not being compatible from aluminum to steel wheels. For a spare ST235/85R16 wheel tire combo, I recommend the Kenda Karrier Radial Trailer Tire with 16" Black Mod Wheel item # AM32743B.
The Kenda item # AM32743B is a load range E tire with a maximum capacity of 3,640 lbs at 95 psi, and a top speed of 81 mph. The wheel is powder coated black steel measuring 16" diameter x 6" wide and has a bolt pattern of 8 on 6-1/2".
