The Goodyear G614 only comes in one size, LT235/85R16.
Also, this site is suspect, as they have this disclaimer at the bottom of their home page:

The first steel cased trailer tire was designed by GY and put into service as LT235/85R16 LRG. It is a true trailer tire and says so right on it's sidewall and is touted by GY as a true trailer tire. The RST on it's sidewall is short for Regional Service Trailer.
The above review included tires for motorized RVs. Michelin does not build trailer tires in sizes below 17.5". In their truck tire data book they describe the XPS as an all position tire, further on in that description they define
all position service as drive and steer only.
How many times have you read a post about a tire "blow out" when the poster says everything was checked and in good order when they hit the road? Did the mention their weight having been confirmed from some scales?
IMO a post like that is suspect, without a verifiable weight slip.
