Keeping an eye on this as I may buy tires soon. Bought a 2014 Voltage 3305 recently and is in great shape as it should be. The tires are 235/80R16. Name escapes me but starts AK......
They show some wear but ok. Trailer weighed is 12700 and know I will have 1500 more in there towing and will upgrade tires in the future. It is double axle.
Keep recommendations coming....
Were hijacking the OP tread here but maybe he can benefit from your trailers completely different tire needs.
The OP has ST225/75-15 D tires rated at 2540 lbs and 28.3" diameter.
He can upgrade to 16" trailer wheels and a LT225/75-16 E at 2680 lbs @ 29.2" diameter. His tri axle trailer probably has 5200 lb axles.
Your tire needs are different.
Your ST235/80-16 E has around 3400-3600 lbs capacity and your tandem axle trailer may have 7k axles.
If this is the case the only LT tires that will work is the Sailun S637 G load range at 110 psi or the Goodyear G614 LT235/85-16 G load range at 110 psi both are a commercial grade all steel ply carcass and tread.
Now if your trailer has 6k axles the LT235/85-16 E at 3042 lbs capacity tire will work for you. If your trailers gross weight is close to 3000 lbs per wheel I would stick with the Michelin XPS RIB or the Bridgestone R-250 both are a commercial grade all steel ply carcass tire.
