After 6 years on the same set of Power King Tow Max STs, I'm also in the process of switching to 6 BRIDGESTONE DURAVIS R250 on my Toy Hauler. I say "in the process" because Costco will not install LT tires on a trailer or any tires on a trailer for that matter. So, I am doing only 2 at a time myself because I only have 2 jack stands.
I went with the 245/75 R16's because the Costco tire guy said that the diameter is closer to the OEM spec of 235/80 than the 235/85s and that the lower profile will be slightly more stable ... *shrug* dunno...
Wider tires are not better on a trailer. The difference in profile is minimal
Diameter of the 3 tires are
235/80 = 30.8
235/85 = 31.7
245/75 = 30.5
I would have went with the taller tire over the wider tire myself. However I am not sure it will matter that much in reality. May have some premature wear from scuffing.
