We have a great option and solution to work with your Big Tex Gooseneck Trailer. At this time we do not have tires size 235/80R16 Load Range F, but we do recommend Provider ST235/80R16 Radial Trailer Tire Load Range G item # PRG80235 for your trailer.
The difference between a load range F and load range G tire of the same size, 235/80R16, is the weight capacity and pressure. The Provider Radial Trailer Tire # PRG80235 has a ply rating of 14 and a 4,080-lb max load at 110 psi, while most F tires have a ply rating of 12 and a 3,980-lb max load at 95 psi. Upgrading to these tires will not have a adverse affect on the trailer.
In short these tires have a higher weight capacity, to handle various weights that you may tow in your Big Tex gooseneck trailer. Trailer tires should always be inflated to the maximum psi rating indicated on the tire. Trailer tires have a thicker side wall so that they can handle more vertical load, passenger vehicle tires do not have as thick of a side wall so they should not be used on trailers.
Most of the trailer tires we carry are rated for a maximum of 65 miles per hour. The tires I recommended are rated for a max speed of 81 mph. I have included a link to our FAQ article on trailer tires for you to view.

Once my 10 ply tires wore out within the first 6 months, I switched to a 14-ply Provider aka China tire. Highly disappointed! I’ve had this set of 8 tires on my Diamond C for 7 months now and am experiencing inner cupping and wear on the outside tread and inside tread. The tread in the center is fine though. The max PSI on the sidewall shows 110 psi. I kept them at 90 ... allowing for increase in air pressure while pulling. I don’t recommend them. Also, I’m no expert on tires ... all I can comment on is my experience and what my dealer has told me about China tires. He told me I’d be better off with a USA made tire. Honestly, I’d like a professional comment / suggestion .... not only for myself as an owner operator but for others in my line of work. At the end of the day, we’re ALL wanting our equipment to preform at its best with less overall expense. Also, my trailer is a 40’ with air-ride and 90% of loads consist of partials.
