[QUOTE="SALTBRANCH2, post: 1618760, member: 33463"] You can put 14ply load range G on that trailer without issues. The rims will hold the Load Range G tires fine. If it is a Low Profile trailer you will want to stick with a 235/80/r16. The 235/85/r16 will rub on a Low Pro trailer. We sell the Hercules brand tires with out much issues. Out of the China made tires, they seem to be a better tire over all. The ones with solid looking wheels are the 17.5" tires and those come in 16 and 18 ply LR-H and LR-J. We are trying a new style 15" 12 ply tire and a 16" 16 ply tire out. I think the 15" 12ply is going to be a big hit. The biggest issue you will run into is on old trailers, like the ones from the 70/80's that came with the 7.50 x 16" bias ply tires. The back spacing on those wheels are fine with Bias Play but when you change over to radials and under a heavy load, the radials will rub sidewalls and push the wheel off the studs. It does not happen on every old wheel/trailer but if you are swapping from bias ply to radials, you sure need to look and make sure the tires are not touching when loaded. Personally, I change tires out every 5 years. I am getting to old to be changing tires on the side of thehighway [/QUOTE]
