Sorry the XPS Rib does not below on a 16K trailer like the OP's!!!! Chris
Yep. you're right. I didn't realize that trailer was that heavy.
The XPS RIB, which is only rated at 3042# at @80# pressure wouldn't be enough. Without looking up the weight, I figured a RIB would replace an E range ST tire, but I see the Blow Max is rated at 3520#.
So now I wonder about the rims. If the OP goes to a G614, to get an adequate load rating of 3550 on the tire, he would have to run the pressure at 100 psi. Still do-able, but he's getting real close to the max pressure on his rim (assuming he does actually have a rim rated at 3580). Need to check. The max for that rim is 105 psi, by calculation.Goodyear G614 RST tire pressure chart
It would also be good for him to weigh each wheel; it could be that he could run the G614s at a lower pressure and get within a better range on the rim.
Or, just replace the rims with a 110 psi rim...
So when I spoke to the wheel manufac. they said my wheel, the J55 will hold 110psi at 3750 lbs so I'm thinking G-614's and probably run like 100lbs in them.... Still MUCH better than those E's
