Radial Tires vs. Bias Tires
Radial ply tires are designed for trailers that are towed on the highway. The cords on a radial tire are positioned at a 90-degree angle to the direction of travel so that they lay across the width of the tire from wheel lip to wheel lip. This construction prevents the cords from rubbing against one another when the tire flexes, unlike the cords on a bias ply tire. As a result, radial tires have less rolling resistance and heat buildup, which leads to a longer tread life and improved steering at higher speeds.

New tires arrived VERY quickly. Amazingly fast delivery .......5 tires arrived in individual boxes, very impressive delivery system!!
Tires appear to be very heavy duty re sidewalls, I did read the reviews before ordering and am hoping for good results. Not exactly happy that the build dates on the tires are over one year old..........and yes I did read the rebuttle to someone elses pointing out the one year old thing. Tires made in China. Hoping for the best based upon many positive reviews.

Tire arrived via free shipping (over $99) in 4 days with no damage and as described/ordered. This is probably the 10th or so tire or tire and wheel purchase I have made from etrailer. Every experience has been just like this-consistently painless.
Folks at etrailer, thanks for working according to the standard in Colossians 3:23!

Best transaction I’ve had online. They had the tires I needed in stock and received them in less than three days. This is my second order from Etrailer.com and will not be the last.. The tires came in individual boxes and were Not damaged at all. I highly recommend doing business with this company.

We have a 5th wheel & we normally travel about 3 months a year. However, this year we are traveling 6 months and we will be home by the end of April. So far we have traveled in 27 states and about 14,000 miles. I can't say enough about how good these tires have performed. Especially, since many of the roads and highways we have traveled are very rough. The tires are performing greatly, no flats, very good thread wear, (even on all four), no noise, no problems. I love them. +

The ST225/75D15 tires on your trailer indicate that they are bias ply tires, different than the ST225/75R15 units also on your trailer, which are radial ply tires. I do not recommend maintaining this existing mix between the two tire types, as they will not track the same which can result in uneven tire wear down the line.
I recommend replacing the two bias ply tires on your trailer with radials so that all of them match. When choosing replacement tires, you will also want to make sure... view full answer...
You should have no problem installing a 225/75R15 on a rim that previously had a 205/75R15, but you should note that 205 is designed to fit 5 to 6-1/2 inch wide rims and the 225 is designed to fit 6 to 7 inch wide rims. You might verify your current rim size first.
Also, the 225 will be almost an 1-1/2 inches taller than your previous tire. You'll want to make sure you have the clearance.
If all that checks out the tire I would recommend is the # AM10303. This is a Load Range E tire. view full answer...
Normally tire speed ratings are listed right after the tire size as a letter. For example the letter M represents and 81 mph speed rating. If you can't find a speed rating after the tire size the safe assumption will be that the tire is limited to 65 mph which used to be the standard speed for trailer tires.
If you can get me the brand and size of the tire I can look further into finding the speed rating if you are still stumped.
I attached a help article on trailer tires for more... view full answer...
A lot of trailer tires do not have a speed rating code on them. If you do not see a letter code somewhere that indicates a speed rating then the tire is rated for a maximum of 65 miles per hour. If it does have a speed rating letter code it would be on the sidewall. It could be on both sidewalls or just one depending on how the tire mold for that tire was made. view full answer...
The ST225/75R15 Kenda Karrier # AM10303 Load Range E tire that you referenced does have a Speed Rating of M (81 mph).
Please note that you will want to keep the cold psi rating at 80 psi to achieve the 2,830 lbs max load rating. This will also allow you to safely operate your trailer within that 81 mph speed rating. If your tires are under inflated then you run the risk of having a blow out due to excessive heat build up, and if they are over inflated then you would see center tread... view full answer...
We do not offer the Hartland tire brand so I have no direct experience with them. The best way to see what users think of them is to check RV forums; you should be able to find opinions from RVers who have them or who have had them previously.
The tires we offer in your ST225/75-15 size, which include products from Kenda, Taskmaster and Westlake, are available in both radial and bias ply types and in three weight load ranges, C, D and E. You can refer to the linked articles for more... view full answer...
Before switching to a higher load rated tire, like a load range 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. A ST225/75R15 load range E tire like # AM10303 will have a capacity of 2,830 lbs at 80 psi. If the wheel has a similar weight capacity you will be good to go.

From the research that I have done it looks like the specs for each tire is the same. The Kenda Karrier ST225/75R15 # AM10303 is a 10 ply tire with a Load Range of E (2,830 lbs at 80 psi) that can fit 15" x 6", 15" x 6-1/2", and 15" x 7" wheels.
It has double steel belts and full nylon plies combined to give superior functionality and helps the tire to last longer. The tread has also been computer-generated for maximum traction. The max speed that can be achieved with the Karrier is... view full answer...
Trailer tires should always be inflated to the maximum air pressure as listed on the tire's sidewall. I cannot recommend inflating your new tires to below their maximum psi, as the amount of weight they are designed to support will also be reduced. Your ST225/75R15 sized tires with a Load Range E have a maximum capacity of 2,830 pounds at 80 psi. Inflating them to 65 psi will essentially reduce their maximum capacity to an unknown number, which can potentially cause you to overload them... view full answer...
It is always a good idea to have a weight capacity safety margin in your car hauler towing set up. In other words, for a loaded tandem-axle trailer with a 6500-lb GVWR you will do well to use tires that give you closer to an 8K total capacity. In your ST205/75-15 tire size we offer radials load ranges B, C and D; you definitely want to stick with that same D load range.
Tires that are operated below their maximum capacity will run cooler and cooler tires tend to last longer and have... view full answer...
The Karrier # AM10303 and Provider # TTWTRTM2257515D are both great tires that come with a 2-year limited warranty and will work great as a replacement for your 7.00-15 size tires.
Although you only require a load range of D (2,540 lbs at 65 psi), the Karrier # AM10303 is what I recommend going with. You get some extra load capacity with the same 81 mph speed rating for about the same price. The load range E (2,830 lbs at 80 psi) is the same size and will stay cooler if you were to load... view full answer...
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.

Speed is a huge issue with trailer tires actually. Unless otherwise noted trailer tires are rated as 65 miles per hour as their max speed. Exceeding the speed rating will cause the tire to heat up and fail easier. We do have a couple brands that have higher speed ratings. The Taskmaster radials like the part # C22515D which is an ST225/75R15 like you mentioned has a speed rating of 81 mph.
The Lionshead part # LHWL304 has a speed rating of 75 mph and has a 2 year roadside assistance... view full answer...
For your 2016 Keystone Ultra Lite Grand Touring Trailer I highly recommend switching to the radial Kenda Karrier ST225/75R15 Tire - Load Range E # AM10303 that you mentioned for a couple of reasons.
First, it is always a good idea to have a healthy safety margin between the combined load rating of your tires and the loaded weight of the trailer. This allows the tires to run a bit cooler (excessive heat is the most common cause for tire failure) since they are constantly supporting less... view full answer...
The 225/75-15 Kenda Karriers with a Load Range of E are part # AM10303. I went out to our warehouse and verified the tire's maximum psi is 80 and has a maximum weight capacity of 2,830 pounds.
Special traier (ST) tires should always be inflated to the maximum air pressure. If it's inflated to a higher or lower psi the maximum capacity of the tire is unknown because it won't perform as it's designed which will cause uneven wear, excessive heat, and eventually failure. You also want... view full answer...
The tire I recommend for you is Kenda, though the specific one you'll need depends on the size you are looking for. The Kenda Karrier # AM10303 is a 225/75-15 tire; the Kenda # AM10248 is is a 235/80-16 tire; and the Kenda # AM10295 is sized 235/85-16.
These tires are nearly universally praised by our customers, with nearly 500 reviews giving them an average very close to 5 stars, which is impressive considering how difficult it is to get that many people to agree on much of anything.

Good news, I can help you find a tire for your Ski Boat Trailer.
I wasn't able to find the Carlisle Radian RH you referenced but, the closest size to a 7.00x15 tire that we offer would be a 225/75-15. One 225/75-15 tire that could work for you is the Kenda # AM10303, this tire would be slightly shorter and a little wider than your 7.00-15 tire. For a load range D that is slightly shorter and wider, I would recommend the Taskmaster # TTWTRTM2257515D.

A trailer tire should always be inflated to its maximum psi when the tire is cold. The maximum psi for a specific tire will be listed on the tire wall and may be different from manufacturer to manufacturer. Even on the same size tire. Occasionally you'll even see different recommendations on the same size with the same manufacturer.
If a trailer tire is over or under inflated the life and capacity of the tire can be compromised. view full answer...
The tire you want is part # TR225LRE. This is a radial tire with a weight capacity of 2,830-lb max load at 80 psi and has a high enough speed rating to allow you to travel 70 mph. This tire has a speed rating of 81 mph. Most trailer tires are only rated for 65 MPH. view full answer...
You can get a load range E in an ST225/75-15, # TR225LRE. This tire is rated for 2,830 pounds at 80 psi. It has a ply rating of 10. It is important to inflate the tires to the maximum psi to reach the maximum capacity. It will also help the tires run cooler which is good because heat is the number 1 enemy of tires.
These tires also have an M speed rating which translates to 81 miles per hour. I have included a link to a video review of this tire and a link to our help article on trailer... view full answer...
You are correct that a new higher-load-range tire in the same size as your existing ones will mount correctly on your existing rims. The Load Range letter codes B, C, D, etc do indicate increasing weight capacity as you move through the alphabet; a LR "H" tire can carry more weight than one rated as "G".
In your tire size H78-15ST (equivalent to ST225/75D15) we have tires in Load Ranges C, D and E, with E of course being the highest-rated. We also have both radials and bias ply types... view full answer...
I wouldn't recommend doing so, especially given the amount of weight your dealing with on a triple axle trailer. If you're referring to the ST225/75-15 tire size, a load range D should be kept inflated to its maximum pressure of 65 psi, while the load range E should be kept inflated to 80 psi. It's easy to forget that not all of the tires need the same air pressure. Having some of the tires inflated incorrectly can lead to an unsafe situation.
At the very least, each axle should have... view full answer...
Trailer tires should always be inflated to their maximum psi as listed on the sidewall of the tire itself. This means you should inflate the new tires on your trailer to the 80 psi that you mentioned in your question. The sticker on the trailer refers to the psi that was listed on the stock tires.
It sounds like you replaced the factory tires with units that have a higher load range capacity, which explains the jump in maximum psi.

The Karrier ST225/75R15 Radial Trailer Tire, # AM10303, is going to be rated for speeds up to 65 miles per hour. This is going to be the same for all trailer tires unless otherwise stated.
Exceeding the 65 mph limit can cause heat to build up in the tire and cause it to fail. view full answer...
We do recommend using ST, or "special trailer" tires; these are made to have a stronger sidewall than truck tires to accommodate the higher air pressure needed for larger loads. It is important to make always inflate your trailer tires to their maximum psi, which will ensure the best performance and ability to handle the load of your trailer.

First things first: cool trailer.
What I suggest you do is reply back to me with your trailer's current tire size. This will be noted on the tire's outer sidewall. Also noted on the tire sidewall will be the weight Load Range the tire is rated for. This may appear as "LR B" or "LR C" for example.

For a ST225/75R15 tire such as the Karrier # AM10303, the diameter is 28.3 inches, or 71.88 centimeters.

With a max load capacity on your trailer wheels of 2600 lbs, you can still use a Load Range E tire that is rated higher but you will be limited to the lesser weight capacity for your max load. For instance, if your tire is the Karrier ST225/75R15 Radial Trailer Tire - Load Range E # AM10303 which is rated for a load of up to 2,830 lbs at 80 psi, then you will be limited to 2600 lbs.

As you mentioned, the 225/75-15 tire size is the next closest size we have available to your existing 7.00-15 tires. As you also referenced, the thing you will need to look at is the size of your current wheels, as the 7.00-15 tire will typically fit a 15 x 5-1/2 inch wheel. A 225/75-15 tire like the Kenda # AM10303 is compatible with 15 inch diameter wheels that have a width of 6, 6-1/2 or 7 inches. They simply will not fit onto a wheel that has a width of less than 6 inches so I cannot... view full answer...
