Hey Larry, so the highest Load Range and weight rated tire we have that fits a 16 inch trailer tire is the Provider part # TTWPRG235R16 which has a weight capacity of 4,400 lbs at 110 psi. I would make sure that you are inflating your tires to their max psi rating on the sidewall (this tire needs 110 psi when cold) and then be sure not to exceed it's speed rating as well. This tire is rated for up to 81 mph.

Hey Larry, how did things go with the Provider tires on your fifth wheel? Did running them at the full 110 psi help prevent any more blowouts? Your update could make it easier for others dealing with the same issue.

@JamesonC We just slowed down our travel speed and kept our tires inflated to 110. due to the high heat we crept along at 55. We did find out, however that you cannot get an H rated tire for a 16 inch rim. It had to be a 17 inch or greater
