Can Trailer Tire Size LT225/75-16 be Replaced with ST235/80R16

Question

Question:

My 5th wheel came with 15 inch wheels and tires. They were changed to 16 in. The tires were changed to LT 225/75R16. I cant seem to find a ST rated tire in that size. Would a ST 235/80R16 fit or am I going to have to get LT tires again for replacements?

While LT rated tires can be used on a trailer if you wanted to replace your current tire size of LT225/75R16 with an ST235/80R16 like the Provider part # TTWTRTM2358016E it would fit on the same rim and would work great.
