The Sailun tires you have are steel cased. The ply description on the tire sidewall tells you the sidewalls have a single ply of steel cording. The other 4 plies are belt plies. Your Sailun tires have a 14 ply rating. That corresponds with load range "G" tires.

The OE tires that came on your trailer are the minimum standard for your 7000# axles. There are built by at least a dozen trailer tire manufacturers bu in that load range and designated size, (ST235/80R16 LRG) and on your trailer they must be inflated to 110 PSI.
Told you I knew enough to be dangerous.

Would you (or others) recommend going to a different size instead of the "minimum standard?"
