• Difference Between Trailer Tires ST205/75D14 and ST205/75R14
  Tire designations ST205/75D14 and ST205/75R14 are both for special trailer tires with a 205mm width, 75-percent aspect ratio and that fit a 14-inch wheel. The difference between them is the tire's type of construction. The ST205/75D14 tire is a bias ply type with a Load Range D rating. This size/grade tire has a weight capacity of 2,100-lbs at 65 psi. Lower capacity C- and B-rated tires in this size offer weight ratings of 1,760-lbs at 50 psi and 1,430-lbs at 35 psi, respectively. For...

• Modern Size Replacements Needed for 7.00 x 14 Tires on Boat Trailer
  The closest modern tire size to the 7.00 x 14 size you mentioned would be a ST205/75-14. The two load range C tires we offer are part # AM1ST86 in bias ply and # AM10234 in radial. The ST205/75-14 is about an inch larger in diameter and 3/4 of an inch wider than the tires you currently have. The load range C bias ply tire in that size is rated for 1,760 lbs at 50 psi. The radial is rated a bit higher at 1925lbs at 60 psi. For optimal tire performance and to realize the full load bearing...

• Recommended Tires for Pop-Up Camper
  The Karrier ST205/75R14 Radial Trailer Tire # AM10235 would be an excellent radial tire for your camper. We also have the Loadstar ST205/75D14 Bias Trailer Tire # AM1ST86 which, like your original tires, is a diagonal bias tire. The bias ply tire has a slightly lower weight rating (1,760 lbs at 50 psi). I usually recommend using a radial tire over a bias tire. Because of the construction of a radial tire, the tire has more flex and will allow for more ground contact. That will improve...

• Upgrading Trailer Tires to a Higher Load Rating Radial Type for Extra Safety Margin
  A tire of size 215/75-14 can be mounted to a 14-inch wheel with width of 5-1/2, 6, 6-1/2 or 7-inches. A narrower 205/75-14 tire can mount to many of these same wheel widths: 5-1/2, 6 or 6-1/2-inches. Moving to a higher load-range rating will give you extra safety margin and it will also allow that heavier tire to run a little bit cooler under the same load than a lower-rated tire would. The Kenda radial tire/wheel you referenced, part # AM3S455, is a great radial tire option (in Load...

• Can Kenda Loadstar ST205/75D14 Bias Trailer Tire, Part # AM1ST86, Be Used as New Mobile Home Tires
  The Kenda Loadstar ST205/75D14 Bias Trailer Tire, Part # AM1ST86, is not a one-time-use tire. It is specifically designed for routine use on a trailer and is not intended for use on other vehicles. This bias trailer tire is built with the stiff sidewall needed to support its Load Range C weight rating. It can carry a maximum load of 1760 lbs at 50 psi inflation pressure, making a set of these suitable for use on a 3000-lb-rated trailer axle. I have included a link to a helpful article...

• Recommended 205/75-14 Tires for Off-Road Trailer
  The tires you have on your trailer now have a radial ply construction which is great for long highway hauls but if you plan to go off-roading then you are going to want to switch to a bias ply construction which will still wok just fine on the highway but it has a stiffer sidewall that will be needed for going over bumps off-road. I recommend the ST205/75D14 Bias Trailer Tire part # AM1ST86 which is an excellent option that has an aggressive tread pattern for better traction off-road....

• Benefits of Changing to Larger Diameter Radial Trailer Tires on Travel Trailer
  Changing to a larger diameter radial tire from a smaller bias ply type can offer several advantages. In general radial trailer tires run cooler than bias ply tires, especially when the tire is under a load. A tire that runs cooler will last longer. A bias ply tire has a stiffer sidewall than a radial, a feature that might be useful for off-road applications, but for highway operation a radial tire will flex more, and provide better ground contact, traction, stability, and tread wear. You...

• Can ST205/75R14 Load Range C Trailer Tires be Replaced with ST205/65R14 Load Range D Trailer Tires
  Yes, you can replace ST205/75R14 LRC tires with ST205/65R14 LRD tires. The difference is that LRC stands for load range C and has a capacity of 1,760 lbs at 50 psi. The LRD stands for load range D and has a capacity of 2,100 lbs at 65 psi. Please note that going to a higher capacity tire does not allow the trailer to carry more weight.

• Size 205/75-14 Trailer Tires for Off-Road Use
  Since you mentioned you are traveling on gravel and rocky roads, the best option is to go with a 205/75-14 bias tire as opposed to a radial tire. The reason is, the cords inside a bias ply tire run at a 32 degree angle to the direction of travel, whereas cords on a radial tire run at a 90 degree angle. This results in a stiffer sidewall for bias tires and the ability to handle rougher roads better than a radial tire, so here is what you'll need: - Load Range C - 1,760 lbs Per Tire: Loadstar...

• When to Replace a Trailer Tire Based on Date of Manufacture
  Trailer tires that are not yet installed and that are kept in a controlled environment will not suffer significant deterioration after only a few months. In a typical retail environment tire inventory will cycle through every 3 to 9 months. Tire compounds are formulated to withstand the heat that is generated in use. They will actually deteriorate less when driven than when left unmounted. This is true even if they are kept in a controlled environment. However, if a tire was manufactured...

• Can a Wider Tire be Installed on a Jayco Jay Flight Trailer?
  Upgrading to a wider wheel is a pretty common thing to do as there tends to be more aluminum options in the 15 x 6 wheels. The only real issue that comes up is spacing from the sidewall of the tire to the inside of the fender or frame. As long as putting a wider wheel, like the Aluminum Sendel Series T02 Machined Trailer Wheel - 15" x 6" Rim - 5 on 4-1/2 # AM22653, keeps at least 1 1/2 inches of space, you will be good to go. I usually tell people to make sure they also have at least 3...

• Can a Trailer with 14 Inch Tires and Wheels Be Upgraded to 15 Inch Trailer Tires and Wheels
  As long as the bolt pattern is the same and you have enough room all around the existing tires for the larger size then yes, you can go to a 15 inch wheel and tire. There are a couple other things you will want to look at though. If the wheels attach to your hubs using wheel bolts and not lug nuts then the center pilot hole of the new wheels as to be exactly the same as the old wheels. Otherwise the wheel will not center on the hub. If the wheel does use lug nuts then the pilot hole of...

• Compatibility of Replacing a ST215-75R14 Tire with a ST205-75R14 Trailer Tire
  Yes, the narrower ST205-75R14 tire will fit in place of an ST215-75R14, It is important for all of the trailer tires to be the same size and construction type (bias ply or radial). Using different sizes can cause tracking problems and lead to premature and/or uneven tire wear. Ideally you would replace all of the tires at the same time. There is a difference in width for the ST215-75R14 (8.4") # AM10234 and the ST205-75R14 (7.8") ex: # AM1ST86. You can replace all tires with the ST205-75R14,...

• Availability of Replacement Tire For Size F65-14ST on Tow Master Boat Trailer
  The replacement for the F65-14ST tire you mentioned would be a ST205/65-14, which is kind of an oddball size that we don't carry. The closest equivalent we carry would be 205/75-14. The tire you currently have is 24.6 inches in diameter, and 7.4 inch section width. The ST205/75-14 is 26.3 inches in diameter and 7.8 inches wide which is about a 1/2 inch wider and 1.7 inches larger in diameter. We have the 205/75-14 available in a bias-ply or a radial tire. The radial is available in a...

• Need Replacement Tire For F65-14ST and ST205/65-14 Trailer Tire For Pontoon Boat Trailer
  The F65-14ST trailer tire is a comparable size to the ST205/65-14 size. However we do not carry either tire. The closest tire size we have is the ST205/75-14, like the item you selected, Loadstar ST205/75D14 Bias Trailer Tire, part # AM1ST86. What you would need to do is take some measurements for the correct replacement tire. The height of your ST205/65-14 tire has an overall height of 24.49 inches and a width of 8.07 inches. The overall height of a the Loadstar # AM1ST86 measures 26.1...

• Trailer Tire Recommendation for a Trailer with 185/70R14 Tires
  The tire size you listed isn't a common trailer tire size, it's most likely a passenger vehicle tire. On a trailer you should only use ST specialty trailer rated tires since they are designed for the vertical load associated with trailer. The closest trailer tire size to what you have is the 205/75-14 like the part # AM1ST86. This size will be about 2 inches taller than what you currently have so you will need to make sure you have room for 1 inch less of fender clearance. I attached a...

• Can I Use A ST205/75R14 For A Spare Tire On Trailer With ST205/75D14 Tires
  Since you are not replacing all of your tires, I do not recommend to use a ST205/75R14 to use as a spare because it is not a good idea to mix radial and bias ply tires. The D in your existing tire size means it's a bias tire and the R stands for radial. Mixing radial tires with bias tires could result in uneven tire wear because they radials are more flexible. I recommend using Americana ST205/75D14 part # AM1ST52 to use as a spare if your tires are a load range C. This Taskmaster tire...

• Can Tires And Wheels On Trailer With 12-Inch Tires Be Upgraded To 13-Inch Or 14-Inch Tires
  If you have the needed clearance for the new wheels and tires, and the wheel bolt configuration of your hub matches then you should have no problem going from a 12-inch to 13-inch wheel and tires. You want to make sure you have 3-inches or more clearance from the tire to the fender or wheel well for deflection. I have attached a helpful article that explains how to measure the wheel bolt pattern. I have attached links to our product pages for the 13 and 14 inch tire/wheel combos you...

• Can I Increase From Load Range B to Load Range C Tires
  If the B rated tires have a high enough capacity there's no reason you need to go with a C rating but there's also no reason you can't. It won't hurt anything. The F78-14 size is the same as today's 205/75-14 metric size. For C rated tires in that size I recommend # TR20514 for radials or # AM1ST86 for bias tires. They're both rated for 1,760 pounds at 50 psi. I couldn't tell by your picture if your current tires are radial or bias. Radial tires have less heat build up and therefore...

• Recommended Replacement ST215/75R-14 Tires for Boat Trailer
  The 'LT' would indicate a tire for a light truck. 'ST' or Special Trailer tires are manufactured differently from tires for passenger vehicles. The tire sidewalls will be thicker and can typically handle heavier loads and higher pressures. Therefore, we don't recommend using LT tires on a trailer. For a ST215/75R-14 tire in a load range C, I'd recommend part # AM10229. For a higher D load range tire, go with the Taskmaster # TTWTRTM2157514D, which provides a 2200 lb capacity at 65 psi....

• Can I Swap to Larger Tires on My Utility Trailer with 13 Inch Wheels
  As long as you're able to match your existing bolt pattern with your new wheels, there's no reason to change the hubs on your trailer; there may be instances where the bolt patterns available for your hubs limit you to certain wheel sizes, so that information would be required. The other thing to take into consideration is the additional size you'll be adding in the wheel wells and you'll want to make sure that you leave at least 3" of clearance between the tops of your tires and the top...

• Can 205/75D14 Tire Be Used As Spare For ST215/75R14 Tires On Trailer
  As a last resort you could use a ST205/75/R14 part # AM1ST86. I would strongly recommend going to a tire shop and getting your damaged tire replaced, or to just purchase a new one to the correct size that you're already using, as soon as possible. While using different tire sizes, it will make it to where you will have uneven tire wear on all your tires currently in use, and also lower the load capacity, and with # AM1ST86 being a Bias tire it wouldn't be good mix with a Radial tire.

• Can 205/75D14 Tire Be Used As Spare For A 215/75D14 Tire On Boat Trailer?
  If a 205/75D14 like the Loadstar # AM1ST86 was the only thing you had to get you off the side of the road it would work for a vert short distance, but you would not want to use it long. The reason for this is it will be just under 1" shorter than the 215/75D14 tires you currently have. Having a shorter tire on one side will cause the trailer to sit uneven and will put additional weight on the shorter side which is not ideal. Instead I recommend getting the Loadstar ST215/75D14 # AM1ST90...
