The reason we went with these, was because we had a blow-out 6 months after purchasing the trailer and we were 500 miles from home. The only place that had tires for a trailer was a semi-truck tire repair shop. So, what we ended up with, was tires for a commercial semi truck trailer.
Think-outside the box? You just never know what you'll come up with!

It seems most of these All Steel radials 235/80/16 ,and 235/85/16 have stepped up their game. You are a giving the Hercules a good review ,Westlakes is another, seems like there are several.
Then there is Sailun ,which seems to get the best reviews ,can't be beat in price. As far as size the OP asked about the 235/85/16, not a problem, being just 1" taller ,and a better weight rating. Most of our fifth wheels come with the 235/80/16's ,but many go the 85's
