There are a couple of differences between ST235/80R16 load range E and ST235/85R16 load range G tires.

An ST235/80-16 will have a capacity of 3,500 pounds for a load range E. It will be 30.9 inches tall (diameter) and it will be 9.4 inches wide.

An ST235/85-16 will have a capacity of 3,960 pounds for a load range F (we do not carry a G). It will be 31.6 inches tall and also 9.4 inches wide.

Both sizes will fit on 6 to 7-1/2 inch wide wheels. I have included a link to all of our 16 inch options for you to the right.
