7.50/16 tire ?
Purchased horse trailer listed several yrs ago and it had bias 7.50/16's. They are old and cracking, had one come apart recently. I am going w/ LT radial tires.
I have some LT 245/75/16tires, they will be shorter and wider, correct? I am not worried about rubbing as the 235/85/16 spare has plenty of room. What size would be closer to the 7.50/16's? I've tried tire calculators but they won't let you enter the 7.50/16. Suggestions................ |
you can get the 7.50 in a radial with a better sidewall then std lt tires for about the same price
|
The 245's will be 1" shorter than the 7.50 which are the same height as 235,75,16
I'd put the 245's on it if it was me. |
tire shop told me its the same hiegth as a235 85 16

Ok thanks for the info. I didnt make it by the tire store yesterday.
That is what I kinda thought about the free 245/75/16 tires, shorter. My concern was going too much shorter would put trailer unlevel and the hitch is already up as far as it can go. |
I have found that LT245/75R16 load range E scrub too much in tight turns on pavement. I'm taking mine off and going with LT235/85R16 load range E.[roll]

750/16E and the LT23585R16E are two most sold trailer tires. Actually most of the farm and implement guys use the 750/16E tire because they are cheap and generally meet their needs.

My 12k Utility trailer came with the LT 7.50/16 R new. they have lasted 5 years, still no problems. I would price them out. They are pobably a better price than the 235/85/16.

I put Hankook 7.50/16's Max Vantage F-19's on my 4-horse living quarters trailer. I'very happy with them,
they are a heavy duty radial tire, think I paid about $110 each for them without mounting and balancing |
