Commercial TA is rated for all position. Meaning lots of people including me put them on their trailers. Any LT tire is going to give superior service when compared to an ST tire IMHO.

Another vote for BFG Commercial T/A's here... I have LT235/85R16 on our 2012 Montana High Country and like them.

My dad runs the BFG Commercial TA on his 1-ton Dodge, 30' horse trailer, 16' horse trailer, and 24' flatbed. I don't think he will ever change. I've been thinking of putting them on my Dodge but haven't decided if I want a little more aggressive tread.

The BF Goodrich web site has all the information you will need, including tire diameters. Go there please.

What was already said -
and
there are plenty of "tire size comparison" sites available via Google.
Enter the tire size (ex: 235/80) = Dimensions in inches.

You will either have to go to 235/85 -or- 245/75.

Be sure to check clearance between tires!

BTW - BFG is owned by Michelin. Good choice.

Where to buy?
Can't hold your hand on that one, LOL!
Wherever you get the best deal for *you*!
