• Do All Tires on Trailers Require the Same Pressure
  Trailer tires need to be inflated to their max pressure rating to ensure they get the full weight capacity and to reduce heat build up which causes eventual tire failure. So the short answer is yes you need to make sure all of your tires are inflated to their max pressure rating. The other thing you should note is that you really should be running the same tire Load Range on all of your wheels so that you can run the same pressure in all of them. If you get me the tire size you have...

• Determining Correct Tire Size to Use On Trailer
  When determining the correct size tires to use on your trailer, you will want to make sure that the combined load capacity for the tires meets or exceeds the GVWR of the trailer. The GVWR (Gross Vehicle Weight Rating) refers to the most the trailer can weigh when fully loaded. This information should be stamped on the trailer either to the frame itself or with a tag/sticker. This along with fender and frame clearance will determine what tire size will work best. Your best bet is to...

• Radial or Bias Ply Trailer Tire for Off Road Use
  Bias ply tires do have a stiffer sidewall that is commonly preferred in off road applications. Normally I recommend a radial over a bias-ply since most of what we sell is for on road applications, but for you a bias-ply would be better. I will say that nothing we offer is designed for the rigors of the Baja course. All I can recommend is what would be your best option that we offer. I attached a link to a page that has all of the tires and wheel/tire combos we sell with bias ply tires...

• Trailer Tire and Wheel in 205/75-15 Size for 8,500 lb Travel Trailer
  When picking out tires for your travel trailer you actually will want to do it by weight capacity of the tires. Let's use the part # AM32409 that you referenced as an example. This wheel and tire has a capacity of 1,820 lbs. That would mean it would take over 4 wheels at this capacity to meet your 8,500 lb trailer weight. Now the part # AC225R65SMQ is the same size and mounted on a rim with the same bolt pattern and it has a capacity of 2,540 lbs. That means that it if you had a tandem...

• Can a Load Range E Trailer Tire be Used in Place of a Load Range D Trailer Tire
  Different size and bolt pattern wheels that take the same tire size will have different psi ratings. If your existing wheels are rated for 65 psi then it is less likely that they would also be rated for 80 psi which is what an ST225/75-15 load range E tire requires. Trailer tires should always be inflated to the maximum psi as indicated on the tire. The person you spoke with must not have known about the difference between trailer tires and passenger vehicle tires. Trailer tires are...

• Can Trailer Tire Size 225/75-15 Fit 6 or 7 inch Wide Trailer Wheel
  The diameter of the tire would not change if you went to a narrower wheel by 1 inch. The wheel being narrower does not push the top of the tire up higher. A tire like the # AM10303 would work great. It fits tire widths of 6 inch to 7 inch in width too which means it would work well for you in that regard as well. I attached a link to a page that has all of the tire and wheels we offer in this size too. You'd need to select the bolt pattnern of your wheels from the filters to pick out a wheel.

• Recommended Trailer Tires for 7,000 lb GVWR Trailer
  To be frank the only difference you will really notice going to a larger ST225/75R15 tire with a load range of E over a ST205/75R15 tire with a load range of D is in your wallet. Slightly larger tires with a bit more capacity are going to cost you more money without improving your ride in a noticeable way. I recommend going with a quality ST205/75R15 load range D tire, the Provider # TR20515D which has a 2,150 lbs capacity at 65 psi. The most important thing to remember when it comes...

• 13 Inch Trailer Tires for a Tandem Axle Boat Trailer and 2,600 Pound Boat
  For your boat trailer with 13 inch wheels I recommend Taskmaster radial tire # TTWTRTM1758013C which is a load range C rated for 1,360 pounds at 50 psi. Since you have tandem axles you will have 4 tires for a total capacity of 5,440 pounds. Radial tires like this one run cooler and track better than bias ply tires. This tire also has a speed rating of 81 miles per hour. I have linked a video review of this tire for you.

• Can a ST225/75D15 Trailer Tire be Swapped out for a ST225/75R15
  The difference between the ST225/75D15 and the ST225/75R15 is the way the tire is constructed. The D in the ST225/75D15 size means that it is a bias-ply tire whereas the R in the ST225/75R15 means that it is a radial tire. Radial tires are preferred because the tire has more flex and will allow for more ground contact. That will improve traction and better tread wear. It also gives the radial tire better stability. Radials will also run cooler. So long story short, you could swap...

• Can I Use A ST 225/75/D/15 For A Spare Tire In Place Of A ST 225/75/R/15
  Yes, you can use a ST 225/75/D/15 like the Loadstar # AM1ST96 for a spare in place of a ST 225/75/R/15. While there are differences between radial and bias-ply tires, they are not significant enough to make a difference for spare tire use unless you foresee that spare seeing active use long term after replacing an existing tire. A bias tire has a stiffer sidewall and might be used more on off road applications, like farm use. Because of the construction of a radial tire, the tire...

• Looking for ST205/75-15 Wheel/Tire Combo for Spare Tire on ATV Trailer
  If the center of one bolt hole to the center of the adjacent bolt hole measures 3 inches, you have a 5 lug on a 5 inch bolt circle. If that distance is 2-5/8 inches, it's 5 on 4-1/2. If it's 2-3/4 inches, its 5 on 4-3/4. I've linked you to an article that explains how to I ran out to our warehouse and measured the distance by skipping one hole like you did, and found that a 5 on 5 wheel matched the measurement you took. Please measure the distance between two adjacent holes to confirm,...

• Can an ST205/75-15 Trailer Tire Be Replaced with a 225/75-15 Tire Size
  A load range D tire in the 205/75-15 size is not available. You would have to go up in size in order to get a load range D tire. Your existing tires have a width of 7.7 to 8.1 inches and a diameter of 27.4 inches. They fit on 15 by 5-1/2 inch wheels. The next closest size with a load range D tire is 225/75-15. These tires range in width from 8.4 inches to 8.9 inches and could have a diameter between 28.1 and 28.4 inches. They fit on 15 inch by 6 inch rims so new rims would be required....

• Trailer Tires for 10,000 Pound Dump Trailer
  You may be able to still use a 225/75-15 tire but use a higher load range. The highest we have in that size is a load range E rated for 2,830 pounds at 80 psi, # AM10303. Four of these on a tandem axle trailer would have a capacity of 11,320 pounds combined. It is essential that the trailer tires always be inflated to the maximum psi rating indicated on the tire. This is because trailer tires are built with a thicker sidewall to handle more vertical load compared to passenger vehicle...

• Boat Trailer Tires Are Only Showing Tread Wear on the Outsides
  Trailer axles usually have a bow in them at the center so the center of the axle is closer to the bottom of the frame than the ends. This causes the tires to camber in at the bottoms (positive camber). When a load is placed on the trailer that bow flattens out and the tires straighten. If the load is not heavy enough then it will not cause the axle to flatten out and the tires will still have a positive camber causing wear on just the outside tread. Going to a wider tire would not solve...

• Can Trailer With Existing 205/75-15 Tires Increase Tire Size to 235/75-15
  It'll depend on how much fender/frame clearance you currently have. Going with a larger tire such as the ST235/75-15 # WST54FR tire would increase the tire diameter by about 2 inches and the width by about an inch. This will move the top of the tire about 1 inch closer to the inside top of the fender or wheel well and about 1/2 inch closer to the trailer frame to the inside. With the trailer loaded up as you'd typically have it, you want to see 4 inches of clearance above the tire...

• Which Timbren Axle-Less Suspension System for On and Off Road Trailer?
  Great question. The standard 2K system # ASR2KHDS01 is for standard highway driving only. The Heavy-Duty 2K system # ASR2KHDS02 will be compatible with wider tires for more of the combination use you are seeking. The # ASR1THDS01 listed for Off-Road Tires has suspension that is more robust for up to 2,200 lbs and has a longer arm for a smoother ride over a rougher terrain. For your application, I recommend # ASR2KHDS02. It will handle better for your fair bit of highway driving...

• What is the Closest Trailer Tire in Size to a P235/75-15 Car Tire
  As you probably know, car tires should not be used on a trailer. This is because trailer tires are made with a thicker sidewall to handle more vertical load. Car tires are not built this way so it can lead to blow outs. The closest match to a P235/75-15 car tire would be an ST225/75-15 such as # AM3S862 which has the 5 on 5-1/2 bolt pattern. This is a load range D tire rated for 2,540 pounds at 65 psi. The difference in size between these two tire sizes is minimal. The ST225/75-15...

• Can 205/75-14 Tires And Wheels Be Changed To 225/75-15 Combos On Toy Hauler
  With the size tire and wheels you said you want to use on your toy hauler, you may have some problems with clearance. You want a minimum of 3-inches clearance from the top of the tire to the fender when the trailer is loaded. The overall diameter of your 14-inch tires is 26.106 inches. If you change to the 225/75-15 tires and wheels, the overall diameter is 28.288 inches. That is more than 2 inches more of overall diameter and would really reduce the clearance for the tire to the fender...

• Spare Tire Mount for a Trailer Tire and Wheel with 5 on 5 Bolt Pattern
  For a wheel with a 5 on 5 bolt pattern such as # AM32409 you will need to use a u-bolt type of carrier, # FETCHL0700, which comes with a lock and can be bent to fit a 5 on 5 bolt pattern. Most other carriers, other than the ones like # FETCHL0700, will not accept a 5 on 5 bolt pattern.

• Upgrading to a Larger Tire Size on a Sundowner Trailer
  Sundowner would know if the rims they installed on your trailer are capable of having a larger size installed on them so you should be fine. The 205/75-15 tire size can fit rims that are 5 to 6-1/2 inches in width whereas the 225/75-15 can fit on rims that are 6 to 7 inches in width. When going to a larger tire we recommend you check the clearances of the trailer to be certain that a larger and wider tire could fit. I would recommend a radial ST225/75R15 like part # AM10303 over a...

• Troubleshooting Rear Tires on Tandem Axle Trailer that are Wearing
  Is your trailer being towed level? Towing an out of level tandem axle trailer can cause the tires on one axle to wear differently. In your case it would sound like your trailer is nose high and because of that the rear tires are wearing. I attached a help article that details how to pick out the correct rise/drop ball mount to tow trailer level.

• Tread Wear on Just the Outer Tread of ST225/75-15R Tires on a Jayco Trailer
  Tire wear just on the outer tread of the tires can indicate that the load on the trailer is too light to fully straighten out the axle. Trailer axles have a bow in them and when weight is put on them they will straighten out. Switching to higher capacity tires will not solve the issue. If it is happening just on one side then the issue could be a worn suspension component and you would want to check the suspension for wear and tear and replace parts as needed. If you did want to go...

• Can Different Size Tires Be Used On Horse Trailer
  The spare tire you have that is a 205/75-15 has a diameter of 27.10 inches. The 225/75-15 tires on your trailer have a diameter of 28.28 inches so they are a little over an inch bigger diameter. It is not recommend to mix different size tires on a trailer because the tires could overheat causing tire failure. If using this as a spare tire, if you need to use it I recommend only using it until you can get to a shop that can replace it with a tire that matches the other tires on the...

• Can a 235/65R15 Tire Replace a 205/75/15 Trailer Tire
  As long as your rim is between 6 and 7 inches in width a 225/75R15 size tire would fit on the rim. The tire will be about 1-1/2 inches taller so you will need to make sure you have the additional clearance for that. For a tire I would recommend the part # AM10256.

• Trailer Tire Options in Size 205/75/14 for House Boat trailer
  You can usefully change your trailer tires to a higher load rating if the trailer's capacity is high enough to make that change worthwhile. If your trailer axle and hubs are rated for a higher load capacity than the two tires then moving to a higher load rating tire/wheel will let you realize a gain in overall weight capability. However, upgrading one part of the system does not automatically mean that you have increased the trailer's capacity; the lowest-rated part of the system - the...

• ST Rated Trailer Tire Recommendation for Boat Trailer to Replace P235/75R15
  The ST225/75 D15 size trailer tire would work great as a replacement for the passenger vehicle tire P235/75R15 that you currently have on your trailer. The tire will be a tiny bit narrower and shorter but it shouldn't be noticeable. The stiffer sidewall of the bias ply trailer tire will most likely sit taller when loaded anyway. It's very important to only use ST (specialty trailer) rated tires on a trailer. For a tire in the size you need the part # TTWSF22515D would work well. I...

A 235 size tire is 9-1/4-inches wide and this wide a tire could potentially cause interference issues with brake lines and other vehicle components within the wheel well.
