Can I put 235/80 R16 10ply trailer tires on my 1995 GMC K1500 pickup? It now has worn out standard 6ply highway tires.

Thanks for using 2CarPros.

No, a trailer tire is not designed for steering or acceleration.

Let me know if you have other questions.
Take care,
Joe

As Joe said a trailer tire isn't designed for the stresses that a vehicle will put on them. They will fail in short order because of that.
