What is the Actual Width of a Tire in Size 215/75R14  

I checked with our resident tire and wheel expert, who tells me that a 235/85-16 tire can indeed be successfully used on a 6 inch wide rim. I wouldn't recommend going any narrower than that, though. I'll link you to our trailer tire help…

The difference between an load range C and load range D tire in the same size is the capacity and psi rating. The two tires will still have the same dimensions and fit on the same wheel. The D rated tire has a higher capacity. For a ST175/80D13 like…

In order to determine the torque rating for the lug nuts on your trailer you will need to know check out the chart I attached that shows all of the torque specs for all the trailer lugs available based on stud size, wheel material and wheel size.

The 5.30-12 tires, being wider, are going to make more contact with the road. This means that the noise, and heat build up will be higher than a 4.80-12 tire but the rolling resistance will actually be less because the tire is larger diameter. The…

Load range B trailer tires are going to have a lower capacity than C load range tires. Basically that, psi rating, and the ply rating are the only differences. A higher load range tire would last a little longer than lower load ranges of the same…

The two sizes you mentioned are pretty similar and fit many of the same 15 inch wheels. The 205/75-15 fits rim widths of 5 inch to 6-1/2 inch whereas the 225/75-15 fits widths that are 5 inch to 6 inch. The 205 is 27.1 inches tall and the 225 is 28.4…

The three most common lug stud sizes for a trailer are 1/2"-20, 9/16"-18, and 5/8"-18. In order to make sure you get the correct lug nuts you need to measure the lug studs on the trailer now as we have no way to look this up for…

Hey Jim! The Taskmaster and Westlake tires, like the Taskmaster ST235/75R15 Off-Road #TA45RR and Westlake ST235/75R15 Off-Road #WST54FR you were looking at, are made in China. A lot of people tend to shy away from trailer tires made in China but…

Hey Brian, The Goodyear Endurance ST205/75R14 Radial Tire w/ 14" Liger Aluminum Wheel #LH55VR does not come balanced (none of our 205/75-14 combos come balanced...or the vast majority of the other combos for that matter), but you can either have…

Even though I cannot comment specifically on the grease you used because I am not familiar with it, I can tell you the best grease for trailer bearings is a a grease with a rating of GC-LB, which just means it is made to withstand very high…

Hello Francis, thanks for reaching out. We do offer a few of the Kenda offroad tires, but unfortunately we do not have anything in a 215/75-15. Currently, our only offroad tires option is the Kenda #KE68JR which is a ST235/75R15.

Kenda trailer tires are primarily made in China like most trailer tires. The only Radial trailer tires that I'm aware of that are made in the United States are the Goodyear Endurance line. Carlisle has a bias ply line of tires made in the States,…
