Recommended ST225/75R15 Trailer Tires for 10,000 lb Trailer

Published 08/30/2020

Question:

I pull a 2018 Cougar Half-ton 5th wheel trailer with a GVWR of 10,000#. The original tires are Trailer King ST225/75R15. Im approaching 8,000 miles on the original tires and have recently had to change one out due to some serious tread delamination. the remaining tires look good, but now Im a bit concerned and want to upgrade to a complete set of new tires. Most of my camping is fairly tame highway miles, RV parks with level concrete/gravel pads, etc.. What is your recommendation with regard to brand, load, and speed rating?

Tires are one of the things that are overlooked quite a bit so upgrading to a high-quality set of tires is a really good idea as they will not only help your trailer's suspension stay in good shape but also help ensure safe traveling. So for your 5th wheel trailer with a 10,000 lb GVWR the ST225/75R15 trailer tires I highly recommend are the Provider ST225/75R15 Radial Trailer Tire # TTWTRTM2257515D.

These are load range D tires with a capacity of 2,540 lbs per tire, which is enough because the capacity simply needs to at least match or exceed your GVWR. The Provider are great because among this size tire, they have the highest speed rating at 81 mph and the deepest tread depth at 10/32". This means you will get a tire that is perfect for your highway travels with outstanding road grip.

Our customers who have used the Provider tires think very highly of them, as you can see with its many hundreds of strong reviews on the product page. I have added a link to a video review for you to check out as well of the Provider ST225/75R15 Radial Trailer Tire # TTWTRTM2257515D
