Check the wheel width and the tyre’s approved rim range, as 16-inch refers only to the rim diameter. Match the size, construction marking (R), and any load and speed markings to what your vehicle or implement requires before ordering.

This size is most often used as a flotation fitment on agricultural trailers and implements such as slurry tankers, silage trailers and manure spreaders. It is chosen where a wide footprint is needed to carry weight over softer ground while still handling regular road runs.

Both exist, so check the sidewall for TL (tubeless) or TT (tube-type). If your rim condition is poor or the setup requires it, a tube may be recommended, so confirm with your fitter before fitting or ordering valves and tubes.

Start with your maximum axle load when fully loaded, then choose a tyre with a load index that covers it at your working pressure and speed. If you do mixed road and field work, make sure the chosen load rating still applies at your typical road speed.

For soft ground and field access, a flotation block pattern can help with footprint stability and self-cleaning. If most use is on the road, look for patterns designed for steadier running and even wear, and always match the tread choice to your surfaces, turning angles and load demands.
