• What Load Range Tire is Needed for a 10,000 lb Trailer
  Load range capacity varies based on the tire size and brand, so without knowing either, it's hard to say. For example, a load range D tire in size 145/80-12 has an average capacity of 1,220 lbs, while a load range C tire in size 185/80-13 has an average capacity of 1,480 lbs. So, in this case, the load range C tire has a greater capacity than the load range D tire. It's best to check the weight capacity of an individual tire to make sure the load range will be sufficient. With a fifth wheel,...

• Correctly Rated 225/75-15 Trailer Tires For 7,000 lb Tandem Axle Trailer
  Okay, let's start real quick with if you should have different load rated tires on your tandem axle trailer - you can, but it isn't advisable as they will wear differently, or you'd need to keep a real close eye on the psi of each tire to make sure it's exactly the same. As for the rest of your questions, I'll take them one by one. 1) While we don't have Eagle tires so I can't comment on their viability, your friend is 100 percent right, load range F 225/75-15 tires are absolutely overkill...

  We have the Dexstar Steel Spoke Trailer Wheel - 15" x 5" Rim - 5 on 4-1/2 - White Powder Coat, # AM20422. This is the Dexstar 5" 017-143-1X wheel.

• Can Boat Trailer Upgrade From 205/75R15 to 225/75R15 Tires
  Yes, so long as you have the needed clearance, you can certainly upgrade the tires on your boat trailer from 205/75R15 to 225/75R15. The 225/75R15 tires will add just over 1/2 inch to the top of the tire, and be about 1/4 inch closer to the frame (you want at about 3" of clearance from the top of the tire to your fender and at least 1" of clearance between the inside of the tire and your trailer's frame rail). You are correct that you'll need new wheels as well since 225/75-15 tires fit...

• Largest Tire For 15 x 5 or 15 x 6 Trailer Wheel
  You said both 15 x 5 and 15 x 6, so I'm not sure which one you are going to, but I'll go over the options for you. First, keep in mind that the general rule of thumb is you want at least 3" of clearance from the top of the tire to your fender and at least 1" of clearance between the inside of the tire and your trailer's frame rail. So having said that, the largest tire for a 15 x 5 wheel is a size ST205/75R15 and the largest for a 15 x 6 is a ST225/75R15: - ST205/75R15: Karrier ST205/75R15...

• Replacing 235/75R15 Tires on a Forest River r-pod
  The ST235/75R15 tires you referenced are not a standard sized trailer tire, hence the difficulty in finding them. Your best bet to find tires now and in the future would be to replace those with 225/75R15 tires, which will be extremely close in overall dimensions, as I'll outline for you below. 235/75R15 tires are 9.3 inches wide with a height of 28.8 inches. 225/75R15 tires are 8.9 inches wide with a height of 28.3 inches. You can get 225/75R15 tires in load ranges C, D, or E. For...

• Replacement Tire Sizes For a 1989 Fleetwood Prowler RV Camping Trailer
  The tire size for your 1989 Prowler will depend on what model trailer you have. Here is a list of tires and the models they fit.

• What is the Recommended Tire Spacing on Tandem Axles?
  There are no industry standards for minimum spacing between the forward and aft tires, and the 3-1/2 inches of space you referred to will be plenty. Should you need the larger weight capacity the larger tires offer, you will be fine upgrading from 205/75R15 to 225/75R15. Something else to consider is the clearance between the inside wall of the tire and the trailer frame because the larger tires will be nearly an inch wider, so be sure you have at least three or four inches of clearance...

• What Wheel Sizes Are a Fit for a 225/75-15 Trailer Tire
  Any given trailer tire fits on a range of wheel widths. A 225/75-15 tire will fit on 6, 6-1/2, and 7 inch wide wheels but not a 5-1/2 inch wide wheel. I have included a link to the 15 x 6 inch wheels that we carry that will accept tire size 225/75-15. I have also included links to a couple of info-articles on tire sizes and trailer tires for you.

• Looking for 205/75-15 Trailer Tire with High Speed Rating
  For a 205/75R15 radial tire with a high speed rating, I'd recommend the Taskmaster Provider part # TR20515D which has an 'M' speed rating, good for up to 81 mph. This is load range D tire, with a 2150 lb per tire/4300 lb per axle rating. According to our distributor, the # AM10251 tire you'd looked at has a 65 mph speed rating. I've linked you to our series of informational articles about trailer tires and wheels, that contains more information about trailer tires than anybody would want...

• Replacing 235/75R15 Tires on a Forest River R-Pod
  Yes, the answer remains the same for replacing 235/75R15 tires on your Forest River R-Pod, which will be to go with 225/75R15 tires that are 8.9" wide and 28.3" in diameter, which is a 1/2" less in diameter than the 235/75R15 tires. As I previously mentioned you do have quite a few options depending on the load range you need, which does need to meet or exceed your trailer's GVWR. For a 225/75R15 load range C tire with a maximum load capacity of 2,150 lbs at 50 psi there is the Karrier...

• Trailer Tire Recommendation to Replace a P215/75R15
  It's a smart idea to remove the P215 tires from your trailer since they weren't meant for use on a trailer. The P actually designates that it is for a passenger vehicle. Either size you are interested in would work well. I like going with the largest tire available that will fit since you will get more capacity, more ground clearance, and a slightly smoother ride quality. The part # AM10251 would work well for you. I attached a review video for you to check out as well. Both Kenda and...

• Selecting the Right Trailer Tire for Vintage Trailer Camper
  The tires that were on it, P215, are actually tires meant for passenger cars so replacing them with tires meant for a trailer is a good idea. As for the size, a ST225/75R15 tire with load range of E such as the Karrier # AM10303 would be fine, though you want to check and see if your wheel has the capacity to match the 2,830 lbs at 80 psi capacity of the tire. The tire will also need to fit the wheel, with the aforementioned Karrier fitting 15" x 6", 15" x 6-1/2", 15" x 7" wheels. Should...

• Recommended Tires for a 5x10 Trailer with 3,500 Lb Axle
  The number of plies a tire has no longer has a direct correlation to the weight capacity of a tire as manufacturers have begun to use stronger material which means fewer plies and a higher weight capacity. The figure that is now used instead of plies is load range. The load range of all tires will need to exceed the gross trailer weight (GTW) of the trailer. I recommend the Karrier Radial Trailer Tire part # AM10251 if you have ST225/75-15 tires or part # AM10244 if you have ST205/75-15...

• Replacing an Old H78-15 Tire with its Modern Equivalent
  The modern equivalent of the H78-15 tires are tires sized at 225/75-15. A good replacement for your tire in this size is the Kenda Karrier 225/75-15 Radial Tire, part # AM10251. This tire has Load Range of C and is a 6 ply (the lowest we have in this size). I've linked to a video review of this tire for you to look at. It's meant for 15" rims, which the inside of your current rim is. The outside of your rim from flange to flange is 16-1/2", but the inside where the tire seats is 15". I...

• Will Trailer Tire With Higher load Rating Last Longer
  Going to a tire with a higher rated load range will mean you will need a higher psi rating. The problem with going to a higher rated tire is that it may result in a stiffer ride. For example, a Load Range E tire like part # TR225LRE is rated for a maximum load of 2,830 lbs at 80 psi. A load Range C like part # AM10251 is rated at 2,150 lbs at 50 psi and a Load Range D tire like part # TTWTRTM2257515D is rated at 2,540 lbs at 65 psi.

• What is the Difference Between Load Range C and Load Range D Tires
  The difference between load ranges varies based on the tire size and brand. When comparing two tires of the same size and brand, a load range D tire will always have a greater weight capacity and psi rating than a load range C. However, when comparing two dissimilar tires, such as a size 145/80-12 tire and a size 185/80-13 tire, the load ranges will not correlate with one another. For example, a load range D tire in size 145/80-12 has an average capacity of 1,220 lbs, while a load range...

• Can a 215/75-15 Tire Replace a 225/75-15 Tire
  A 215/75-15 tire will fit a 15 inch rim and has a rim width range of 5-1/2 to 7-1/2 inches. A 225/75-15 tire also fits a 15 inch rim and has a rim width range of 5 to 7 inches. Assuming the width of your 15 inch rim is within the 5-1/2 to 7-1/2 inch range of the 215/75-15 tire you will be able to substitute it. Keep in mind, the 215/75-15 is not a common trailer size so you want to make sure it is designed to be used with your trailer. I would look to see if the tire has ST on it for...

• Wheel and Tire Recommendations for a Livestock Trailer with 5 Lug Wheels and 7.00x15LT Tires
  I have a solution for you, but the 7.00x 15 LT tire size you have is a light truck tire size. LT tires should not be used on trailers although some do without issue. Trailer tires are designed with a thicker sidewall that can accommodate higher air pressures and the weight of the trailer load. Trailer tires should also be inflated to their maximum pressure that is stamped on the sidewall. The trailer tires that we carry are not intended to be used at speeds over 65 miles per hour, unless...

• What Size Wheel Will 215/75-15 Tire Fit On
  Based on my research, it looks like a 215/75-15 tire will fit 15 inch wheels that feature a width of 5-1/2 to 7-1/2 inches. With that in mind, a 215/75-15 is not a common trailer tire size so I recommend verifying that your existing tires are designed to be used on your utility trailer. Trailer tires are built with thicker/stronger sidewalls so they can handle the heavy weights of a fully loaded trailer. For a trailer tire in a similar size the Kenda Karrier ST225/75R15 Radial Trailer...

• Compatible Modern Tire Size for 8.25-15 and 7.75-15 Size Tires
  The tire sizes you mention are considered to be obsolete sizes. The 8.25-15 tire would have an 8-1/4 inch width and a diameter around 28-1/2 inches. The 7.75-15 tire would be around 7-3/4 inches wide with an approximate diameter of 27-3/4 inches. The closest modern tire size to the 8.25-15 would be a ST225/75-15, available in bias ply load range D as part # AM1ST96, or in radial load range D as part # AM10256 or load range C as part # AM10251. A ST225/75-15 would be about the same diameter...
