I can certainly help you out with that. If you just need replacement ST205/75D14 tires for your utility trailer then I recommend the Loadstar ST205/75D14 Bias Trailer Tire - Load Range C # AM1ST86. These are rated at 1,760 lbs each, translating to 3,520 lbs per axle which exceeds your trailer's GVWR of 2,990 lbs per axle per your photo.

If you want the replacement wheel and tire combo so that you don't have to go to the tire shop to get them installed, you can go with the Loadstar ST205/75D14 Bias Trailer Tire with 14" White Wheel - 5 on 4-1/2 - Load Range C # AM3S440. This uses the same tire and offers the common 5 on 4-1/2" lug pattern which you probably have.

Also, I see that your trailer's sticker shows that the OEM tire size is actually ST205/75D15. If you want to go back to OEM size then you can use Karrier ST205/75R15 Radial Trailer Tire with 15" White Spoke Wheel - 5 on 4-1/2 - Load Range C # AM32395 for 5 on 4-1/2" lug pattern. These are upgraded radial tires and they dissipate heat better than the standard bias tires.

Answer 1

When comparing the 175/80-13 and the 185/80-13 tires, load range D, there is not much difference. The larger 185 is going to be about 0.3 inches taller, about 3/8 of an inch wider, and have a higher capacity at 1,725 pounds at 65 psi. Both sizes will…

Kenda part #AM32161 is a ST205/75-14 load range D 14-inch radial tire on a white rim with the 5-on-4-1/2 bolt pattern. This combination has a maximum load capacity of 2200-lbs at 75-psi inflation.

Answer 3

Long story short, yes you can. But going with the ST205/75R14 would be a better replacement than a ST205/75D14 because the R in the first size means it is a radial tire whereas the D in the second size means it is a bias ply. The main difference…

The next size up from a 13 inch trailer tire and wheel will be to go with a 14 inch size ST205/75R14. The highest Load Range we have in that size would be Load Range D with a capacity of 2,200 lb like the Karrier wheel and tire #AM32161. This would…

We only have the Load Range D Kenda Tire part #AM10235 on a powder coated steel wheel. For that part #AM32161. Your other option is to get the Load Range D tire and then also get the galvanized steel wheel part #AM20354 and mount it locally.

The Kenda/Loadstar tires are manufactured in either Taiwan or mainland China. You'd be hard pressed to find a trailer tire that's manufactured in the US these days. The tires still meet stringent DOT specifications, just like a tire…

Answer 7

First thing you need to know is the bolt pattern of the old wheel so that you can go with a rim that will bolt up to your trailer. I attached a help article that details how to determine bolt pattern. Most likely you have a 5 on 4-1/2 inch bolt…

You can select a higher-load range tire in your trailer's current size if you wish to add some tire safety margin, or if your trailer's design allows for a wider 215mm width tire you can potentially also increase the size along with the load…

Load ranges will vary based on the tire size. For example a Load Range C tire in the 4.80-12 tire size like the part #AM30660 has a 990 lb capacity at 90 psi. A Load Range C ST205/75D14 like part #AM3S440 would have a 1,760 lb capacity at 50 psi. I…
