Hey Douglas, the Kenda Karrier ST235/85R16 Radial Trailer Tire with 16" Black Mod Wheel # AM35010 would be a great choice that has more than enough capacity. This is a simple black mod wheel with a tire size of ST235/85-16 mounted on it with a Load Range E. What will you be carrying in the trailer?
