Axles are rated at 7500#. Just going by fading memory on actual weight on axle

I'm struggling here to understand how to help you with a specific tire size/load range or a best brand.

Your first post says " I have E rated tires 16" and "Weights for each axle 4050#". IMO times two axles = 8100 lbs total.

Now you tell us the axles are rated at 7500 lbs which may mean 15000 lbs for two axles.

A 16" E tire from DTI may be a ST E which may have a 3500 lb rating or 14000 lbs for two axles.

I'm guessing here but if you have two 7500 lb axles IMO you need the Goodyear G614 G rated tire at 3750 lbs and 110 psi.
Or another tire fast becomming popular on many trailer forums is the Sailun S637 which is a commercial grade all steel ply carcass tire.

Now if your trailer has 8100 lbs on the axles then a LT225/75-16 R at 2680 lbs times four tires will give you 10720 lbs and a big reserve capacity.

Anyone see something I missed on figuring out what actual size tire/load range he has vs his needs ????

Axles are rated at 7500#. Just going by fading memory on actual weight on axle

Any good tires out here ??

Yes, but for us to give you some good brands to choose from that the forum actually uses and recommends we need help with some actuals such as the trailer GVWR and the axle ratings.

Scaled weights come in 20 lb increments so I'm guessing the 4050 lb number is a axle rating ???
Thats 2025 lbs per tire at a minimum.

A 16" ST E has 3400-3500 lbs capacity. These tire are way too much tire for a 4k axle .... if thats the case.

Need some help or your going to get lots of guessing and wrong recommendations.

Looking for some good tires. I have E rated tires 16". I had a blow out on rigth rear wheel twice. First time tire manufacture made it good. They said tires were defective. I replaced them with some tires from Dynamic Tire Corp and same wheel had a blow out. DTI says nothing wrong with tire. They claim overload or under inflation.Any good tires out there?
Weights for each axle 4050#

With the same tire blowing out 2 times, you should think about having the axles aligned. Might have a bent axle or even a bent spindle.

My response is that it is done frequently .

Many trailer wheels are only 6" wide to boot. Chris

My point, but what do I know?:B

my bad...

Well, then how about split the difference on this B-Stone Duravis discussion ? A 235/85-16 has a load rating of 3042 lbs and runs on a 6 to 7.5" rim.
