• Selecting Trailer Tires to Avoid Blowouts During Freeway Driving
  Trailer tire failure usually comes from heat, and excessive heat in a tire can arise from several potential causes. One is inflation; a tire that is under- or over-inflated will build up more internal heat. A second common cause is overloading the tire with more weight than it can handle. The third common cause for tire failure is operating the tire above its speed rating. This too will cause heat build up that can lead to premature failure. Special trailer (ST type) tires should...

• How to Pick the Correct Tire Size for Trailer
  We can help you choose new tires, though their size is not determined by your trailer size. To get the correct tire you need to know the diameter of your wheel. I have attached a link to our page with our selection of tires, so once you measure your wheel you can find the tires that fit. The load range of a tire will be the capacity you need, and you can choose between bias tires, which are better for off-road or agricultural applications, or radial tires, which are better for highway driving.

• Should I Change From ST205/75-D14 to ST205/75-R14 Tires On a Trailer
  Correct, a 205/75-R14 trailer tire will be better in most areas than a 205/75-D14 trailer tire. The "R" stands for radial which is best for use on the highway and the "D" stands for bias which is best for use off-road. For a radial ply replacement, I recommend the Contender Radial Trailer Tire part # C20514C which is a great middle of the road option that will allow you to travel at speeds up to 81 mph and it comes with a two year warranty.

• Recommended Trailer Tires to Replace 195/75 R14 Sized Passenger Tires on a Trailer
  Yes, ST205/75 R14 will be the closest size trailer tire that we carry. If she does have the clearance I suggest the Contender # C20514C. To determine if she can use the larger tire you'll need to do a little measuring. You want to have at least 3 inches between the tread and underside of the fender as well as 2 inches or so between the tire's sidewall and the inside of the wheel well. The larger tire will add about 2/3 of an inch to an inch more diameter as well as about a 1/4 inch...

• Replacing 205/75-14 Trailer Tires Prone To Blow Outs
  For starters, there are several things that can cause a blowout such as incorrect tire inflation, exceeding speed ratings, and as you mentioned overloading. That said, overloading is one of the less understood causes. I understand how you could think the tires are not rated high enough as many do but what is failed to be realized here is that the tire's capacity won't exceed the total weight of the trailer. The reason for this is because the vehicle holds around 10-15% of the trailer's...

  As long as your 205/75R14 Load Range C radial tires, like the Contender # C20514C, are in good shape and they have the appropriate weight capacity when inflated to the required psi, there isn't much need to change something that is working just fine.

• Selecting New Trailer Tires for Tandem Axle Travel Trailer with GVWR of 6400-lbs

• 14 Inch Trailer Wheel and Tire that Can Use Baby Moon Hub Caps

• What is the Difference Between Bias Tires and Radial Tires
  When you are comparing a Bias tire, like part # AS14B45SMPVD, and a Radial tire, like part # AC14R45SM, the deciding factor on which one to use really comes down to the trailer that the tire will be on and what the trailer is used for. You are right that the Bias tires do have a more stiff sidewall, but that doesn't mean that they are stronger. The strength of a tire comes from the Load Range that it has. The stiffness of the Bias tire makes it better suited for off-road applications...

• Can a Mix of Radial and Bias Ply Tires Be Used at the Same Time on a Trailer
  It is not a good idea to mix tire construction types on a trailer. What you have now are bias ply tires and the ones you are looking to upgrade to would be radial tires.

• Do the Tire and Wheel Combinations Come Balanced
  Our tire and wheel combos, like the Taskmaster Contender ST205/75R14 Radial Trailer Tire w/ 14" Silver Mod Wheel # AC14R45SM, do not need to be balanced.

Although this isn't perfectly balanced, it will do just fine for a trailer since it isn't as crucial for trailer tires to be balanced like automotive tires are. With that being said, if you would like to balance the tires...
