[QUOTE="Rmc, post: 1807392, member: 39072"] You might want to brush up on your tire science. The difference between a 235/80r16 and a 235/85r16 is 5% of 235mm 235x..05 =11.75 mm Or .46259843 of a inch There is more variation in the height of a new tire and a bald exact same tire then 1/2 inch. As far as side walls . The sidewall is the area of the tire that fails when it is overloaded /underinflated . To increase load carrying capacity you must strengthen the sidewall. Basic tire science. Trailer tires are also more susceptible to lateral force damage than a tire on a drive axle. Thus the main difference between a trailer tire and a tire designed to be used on a power axle is where the extra reinforcement is in the tire. In a trailer tire extra reinforcement is placed along the tread/sidewall interface. Wich additionally stiffens the side wall on top of any additional ply rating increase. A tire designed for a power axle has additional reinforcement laterally along the tread to compensate for the torque of the power axle. [/QUOTE]
