AI sez the demensions are....

A 235/85R16 tire has a diameter of 31.73 inches, a width of 9.25 inches, a sidewall height of 7.86 inches, and a circumference of 99.68 inches.

Are you planning on using a trailer tire, 'ST' ?

Po of my 86 sovereign 29' put 235/80/16 on it and it's not lifted. Clearance is about 1 inch in the front, 1/2 inch in back and close to 3 inches on top

Do you really want to? They're very heavy (60 lbs each) and no doubt very stiff tires that seem to be designed for the heaviest tandem axle trailers, especially big fifth wheels that really should have three axles.

I can appreciate that they are ideal for a dump trailer in heavy use, but I'd be concerned about beating up an Airstream and dealing with sheared interior pop rivets on a constant basis.

They also have a lower speed rating (120 km/h / 75 mph) than other options such as the Endurance which are rated for 140 km/h / 87 mph.
