St tires vs LT tires
Suggestions and recommendations????
Forum Discussion
The OP shows a older '07 HH II trailer. Some times back then NUWA was using 6k axles on their trailers with a 12k-14k gvwr....then moved up to 7k axles later. looks like the OP may not know what's on his trailer.
ST vs LT ?? Be careful here and choose wisely. Don't cheap out on a odd name ST ot LT simply because the price is low especially if this heavy trailer is going to see lots of interstate highway use.
ST tire quality has come a long way the last 4-5 years with the load G Sailuns and new gen Carlisle RH and now the HD.
The Provider ST tire M speed rated in most sizes and load ranges from Taskmaster has been a OEM tire on commercial trailers for 4-5 years now. And now OEM on RV trailers.
5.2k-6k axles ??..... the Bridgestone R250 or the higher priced Michelin XPS Rib tire. Both are a commercial grade all steel ply carcass tire.
For max loaded 6k axles and 7k axles the Sailun S637 G load tire at 4080 lb capacity in a ST235/85-16 or a bit smaller diameter the ST235/80-16 same tire.
The Goodyear LT235/85-16 G614 load G at 3750 lb capacity....both tires are also a all steel ply carcass commercial grade tire.
Provider ST 16" E at 3520 lbs or 3640 lbs capacity and a ST 16" G at 4080 lb capacity are fabric carcass tires with two steel tread belts.
And a host of LT 16" E fabric carcass tires in all the major usa tire brands. Lots of 16" tires to choose from now days
