Thanks, but I don't think that the "G" rated tires will fit on a 16 inch wheel. As for tire ratings, the Marathon's are rated for 3400#s, while our 5th wheel weighs 3000# per tire. I think that the Marathon's are under-rated.
Why would you think a LT235/85R16 LR-G would not fit a 16" rim but an LT235/85R16 LR-E or an LT235/85R16 LR-E would fit a 16" rim?
The "G" rated tire is rated at 120#s pressure. An "E" rated tire runs at 80#s pressure. I don't think that my 16 inch wheels will hold up under 120#s.
I have 16 inch rims, 80 # pressure, 6000# axles.
