• Does Load Range of 225/75R15 Trailer Tire Affect Durability
  That is a good question and it is certainly reasonable to think that might be the case but it actually is not. A ST225/75R15 trailer tire with a load range of D such as the Karrier ST225/75R15 Radial Trailer Tire - Load Range D # AM10256 will last just as long and perform just as well as its equivalent with a load range of E, the Karrier ST225/75R15 Radial Trailer Tire - Load Range E # AM10303. Generally speaking, the higher the load range of tire, the more expensive, so as long as the...

• Can 3,500 lb Grease Hubs be Converted to Oil Bath
  What you have is a 3,500 lb hub that needs to be replaced with something like the # 84546UC3. This hub will fit your current trailer based on the bearing numbers you listed.

• Changing Kenda Load Range C Trailer Tire To Load Range D
  Before switching to a higher load rated tire, like a load range D or E, you will want to check the weight capacity on your trailer wheels. If you have a steel wheel, the capacity should be stamped on the backside lip of the wheel. If you have an alloy wheel, this rating should be stamped on the back side of the wheel spokes. From the information I was able to obtain, a load range D tire will have a capacity of 2,150 lbs at 65 PSI. Another option would be just to upgrade to a wheel...

• What Wheels Are Available In A 6 on 5-1/2 Inch Bolt Pattern And A 3-9/16 Inch Center Hole
  I have both a 15 inch wheel and a 16 inch wheel that has a 6 on 5-1/2 inch bolt pattern. The center hole pilot diameter on both sizes is 4.27 inches. The center hole is larger so it will work for you if your trailer has wheel studs on the hub and uses lug nuts to attach the wheel to the hub. You will want to replace your wheel with the exact same size wheel as your other wheel(s). In 15 inch wheels I have the Dexstar White Spoke Trailer Wheel - 15 x 6 Rim - 6 on 5-1/2, # AM20532,...

• What Size Trailer Rim Should be Used for a 205/75-15 Trailer Tire
  For a trailer tire, the narrowest option rim for any given tire is going to be the best option. For a 205/75-15, the best option would be a 5 inch rim. The reason that narrower is better is because it provides more support for the tire. Since trailer tires handle more vertical load, the narrow wheel that offers more support is ideal. A wider rim can still be used but you will not get as much support and you may run into interference issues even though the width difference overall...

• Will Trailer Tires be More Durable if a Higher Weight Rating is Used
  You could go with a higher weight rating tire for more durability, but keep in mind that this will NOT increase the load bearing capability of your trailer, you'll be limited by the capacity of the lowest rated component of your trailer, be it the springs, spindles, axles or tires. Keep in mind that the number one enemy of tires is heat. Be sure your trailer isn't overloaded, that the tires are kept fully inflated to the pressure rating shown on the tire sidewall and that the tire speed...

• What Does a Trailer Tire Load Range Mean
  I believe you mean Load Range since the Load Ranger was the unsuccessful brother of the Lone Ranger. For any given tire size there can be different load ranges. The different load ranges have different weight capacities. This has to do with the number of plies and/or ply rating of the tire. The more plies in the tire construction or the higher ply rating the higher the capacity is. Keep in mind that going to a higher capacity tire does not increase the capacity of the trailer. If...

It is also recommended to use a high quality hypoid gear oil in SAE 90, 80W-90 or 75W-90 weights. However, periodic inspection of you wheel bearings should not be abandoned...

  Your current tires that are 205/75R14 are 26.3 inches in overall height. The 225/75R15 you are considering is 28.4 inches in height. So that means that the new tires would take up about an inch more of your fender wells. If you have clearance for that you should be just fine.

• Comparing Benefits of Greased Hubs vs Oil Bath Hubs
  For most RVs greased hubs are a better option than oil bath hubs, and for the exact reason you mention. While it is obviously not good to run your greased hubs without a full load of grease, this tends not to result in catastrophic failures, mostly accelerated wear and higher operating temperature. Oil bath hubs are less forgiving of leaks and they tend not to do as good a job as greased hubs at keeping water out of the hubs. If you check out RV forums on this subject you'll probably...
