Tire Guru Question
Just about to order new tires for the trailer. The spec sheet says 6.5" rims, I have 6". The tire size is the same as the tires I am replacing ST235/80-16s. Any issues?

Why STs?
Why not LTs?
$600 as opposed to $1200 and I'm selling the trailer next year. Need new tires for safety inspection.
No idea where your getting your prices. Decent LT tires in that sizes can be had for as little as $150 each
Bridgestone Duravis 250s are $250 each. Michelin Ribs $300. Transforce are $200. These prices do not include installation and taxes. Note my location, Canada.
For example:

My original question has been answered. Not debating tire selection. Been pulling RVs for 40 years and not one tire issue. I have chosen ST tires and do not need to be convinced otherwise. Understand the benefits of LTs.
As I have already said, selling the trailer next year and I need new rubber for my June safety inspection.
