Thanks for the inputs. A friend gave me 5 rims 2 of which have LT 235/85R16 somethings mounted on them. With the budget being is tight as it is. I believe the plan is:
Test fit one to ensure that size fits on horse trailer it is wider than 7.5x16
If it does then I think right now I'm buying two Gladiators and mount them. Then I can take off to LA with 5 spares. I'll run the others until failure. THen get the other 3 Gladiators when we get back.
With my luck they won't fail and I'll end up in the end with 5 new tires mounted on the rims the friend gave me. and the 5 on the trailer. To bad the 5vr isn't 8 lug.
For the 5vr, because the budget is as tight as it is. I think I'll either go Carlisle or Gladiator. I know a lot of people talk smack about Carlisle but I've had really good luck with them. The radial anyway. That two horse has made3 trips back to the midwest and been all over NC and VA. 8 years old and I don't know how many miles, they're nearly bald now and still rolling.
