"h" rated 16" tires

After a ton of research I have found a manufacturer who makes an "H" load rated tire for 16" wheels. Tanseagle makes an ST radial tire "ST 235/85R16". The load rating is 133/128 and the speed rating is "L". It is a 16 ply tire versus a 14 ply on the "G" rated tires.

I am close to max load out on my 2018 Fuzion toy hauler with dual axles and a "G" rated tire. I had been looking for a heavier tire.......difficult to find. I know this tire may not be manufactured in the US but I have neard no more bad talk about Transeagle than any of the other manufacturers. I'm hoping this heavier tire will give me a little cushion, rating wise, when I am fully loaded on my camping/riding trips.

I'll bet Tireman9 will jump all over that?

Gross vehicle weight loaded for my camper is 16500 lbs with 7 k axels and G tires pay load of 4400 each. The last time I weighed in was 12160 on the axels. I think you have 7 K axles if 8 k axels you still have 800 lbs pay load left on G tires.

Ken, good luck in your search (and wading through the answers probably to come). You might bear in mind that generally those 'in the know' on this and other forums are not hard on all Chinese tires, just those names we have come to associate with the term 'Chine bombs.' Trailer King comes immediately to mind. Probably the best known and most respected of Orient-manufactured RV and truck tires would be Sailun. With your Fuzion I would invite you to at least explore the use of their LT tire on your rig. They might not be everyone's bailiwick, but at least do a little research. (I don't get to use that word very often!)

To the OP, the specs on our 2018 Raptor 353TS are nearly identical to your Fuzion. I'm assuming that you have two 7K axles. Our Raptor came with Sailun ST235/80R/16G tires that so far have been seamless. On our last Cat scale, we were at 91% of capacity of those tires. So 4080# per tire X 2 tires = 8160# capacity which exceeds axle capacity by nearly 17%. So the weaker link is the axle, not the tires.

To the astute reader, 91% of 8160# = 7,426# which means my axles are overloaded by 426#. I have subsequently moved all my tools out of the garage and into the DRW, moved tables and other items up front in the trailer. I should be pretty darn close now, on axle weight; tires have always been fine. I'm thinking that my first need for brakes, I will likely do a disk brake swap because Performance Brakes will include a 7K to 8K axle upgrade as a reasonably priced option. [Yes, I know that upgrading the axles will not change the GVWR of the trailer - but it sure would help my peace of mind.]

Just sayin...

I have a set of these, possibly made in the same plant that Sailuns are, about the same price.

The TransEagle 16 ply tires may be "cheaper" but it's the pressure that supports the weight. Those tires will require 120PSI (Ibelieve) to provide the capacity listed. The aluminum cast wheels on the OP's trailer probably don't support that pressure rating or that load rating, so buying those tires and getting the maximum capacity from them will probably also require new wheels.....

If going to "new tires AND new wheels" then why not go the "traditional 17.5" route" ?? They would be easier to find, there's a greater brand selection and likely they are stocked in more places than the 16 ply 16" tires.

I’ve used-up all my references and cannot find a load inflation chart for a ST235/85R16 LRH. So I’ve come to the conclusion the Transeagle with 133 load index being touted as a LRH is a bastardized tire.

First is the load index. It’s not used as an official load indicator for LT & ST tires; the load range letters are. Most of the time there are wide disparities between the load capacities for those two load measuring systems. For the tire to be a true LRH it would require a load index higher than 133 which is one increment above a LRG. Using existing information, the load index of 133 for a ST235/85R16 designated size tire would produce about 4600# at 115 PSI.

If the OP thinks the LRH tires are valid, he should take and post some pictures of the information on the tire sidewall so we all have that assurance.
