I have 235/80/16 load range E tires on my trailer and would like to go up to the next load range. Does anyone have any suggestions on tires? Will I have to get new rims to accomodate the higher pressure? What I would really like to do is stay with the same size tire because I have no rubbing or clearance issues with this size tire. Any advice or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. This is for my 3H w/12 ft LQ trailer.

http://www.tirerack.com/tires/tires.jsp?tireMake=Michelin&tireModel... They are E Rated, but if your not overloaded on your trailer they will work. They have the same load rating as the tires that came on your trailer, except they have a much stronger side walls and tread. And you don't have to change rims...

Randemtam; You got a small dose of the roads we travel here all the time; Our trailer is pretty closed to or maxxed out. The 14 ply Hankooks do a better than average job and are quite a bit cheaper than the goodyears. However the 1st choice would be Goodyears. I know Michelins are great tires but in this country you will cut the sidewalls out of them.

Thank you all for your suggestions! (Even you, Gary :) ) We don't need them yet, fortunately, but are trying to decide what to do in the future. I'll keep this thread handy!

I just got some Hankooks and they look like a really nice tire. Reasonable priced also. My sister said they worked on her truck when other tires kept blowing out.
