Standard Trailer Tire Tread
The standard tread on these tires has solid, continuous ribs, and it has very few sipes (or thin grooves) cut into the rubber. These tires are designed for use on trailers, so they don't require the level of traction that would be needed on a vehicle that is braking or steering.
Contender radials have double polyester cords and double steel belts. A protective layer of nylon is wrapped around the steel belts to help prevent tread separation.
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.

So far so good, but to be fair I have only installed them, so they look nice. Lol. The old tires were trail America, and two dry rotted and went flat while in winter hibernation. I bought 4 new from etrailer and will do a follow up l after camping season starts in a month here. So the Whitehawk has 4 new sneakers on, ready to go. One negative was not etrailer's fault, which was 1 of 2 packages getting stuck in PA due to snowstorm. The only negative on etrailer that lost this a star was that the site did not mention the tires were out of stock at the time of order, and still allowed me to place the order. Had I been in a rush for these, I would have been angry as I could have chosen a different tire. Otherwise, a good experiance.

I bought 3 of these tires for a bass boat trailer. Two to use and one spare. They ride smooth and seem to wear evenly. I am very satisfied with the quality, price, and customer service at etrailer.com.

Working out great. Tread is wearing evenly.

While on the way to the beach with my family (a Thursday around 5:30 eastern time) we had a blowout. While waiting for roadside assistance, I ordered these tires from eTrailer. The reviews of the tires were great, and I spoke with a representative to get confirmation that they would work for my application. I placed the order and they were expected to arrive The following Wednesday. To my surprise they arrived one day early. I installed the tires and have only towed the trailer a few miles, however and they seem to be performing flawlessly. I cannot recommend eTrailer enough. Their prices are fair, their customer service is fantastic, and they're shipping is fantastic. A five star company through and through.

We ordered 5 Contender ST 205/75R14 Load Range C tires and two pair of Camco Vinyl tire protectors for our new tires. Everything arrived in 4 days in perfect condition and the the delivery was FREE. Although we haven't had the tires put on yet, we are trusting they will meet our need for towing our trailer. Great work etrailer.com.

Very happy with the tires!!! I put them on my car hauler trailer. I will be needing 2 more in the future. I was so happy to see them shipped in boxes. Usually they are wrapped and the beads get pressed together making them very hard to mount!!! The tires I got from you, shipped the way you do, mounted easy as pie. As always, it was a pleasure doing business with you. Everything I have gotten from you has been perfect. The service as always was great, very happy!!!

I can't really speak to the performance of the tire at this point, but the transaction with etrailer was great as always. The tire came in a box and arrived in pristine condition. Communication with etrailer about the order placement and shipping was flawless. I'd go on more about how great etrailer is but it would seem like a bogus review.

We found your staff to be wonderful to deal with, even when we in occurred a issue with the camper, your staff gave us options to how we could handle the situation. They made us feel comfortable and I am buying another camper and I will be purchasing the tires for this one from you, ( just hope its not to soon )

A really nice tire at a great price. Open grove tread to let all the mud out before you get to your nice driveway. I bought 2. Will buy a 3rd for the spare. (I foregot) My mechanic is impressed by the trailer tire.

Tires Look good, appears to be of good quality. Have not put on boat trailer yet so I really don't know how they will hold up. Doubt that I will wear them out, since the boat is used about once a week during the summer. The old tires (not the same brand) dry rotted after some years of service.

- Replacement Tires for 2006 Fleetwood Pop-Up CamperAccording to my research, your 2006 Fleetwood Pop-Up Camper has 205/75-14 tires. If that is the case then I recommend the Contender ST205/75R14 Radial Trailer Tire part # C20514C for replacement as this is a great middle of the road option that offers exceptional performance without breaking the bank. It has a radial ply which is an upgrade that will be best for highway use and it comes with an 81 mph speed rating. The Contender tires also comes with a two year warranty.
view full answer... - Replacement Tires for ST205/75r14 Load Range C on TrailerYes. The Contender ST205/75r14 Radial Tires # C20514C are also a 6 ply, Load Range C tire of the same size and will work well as a replacement for your existing Ranier tires with the same dimensions and specs. These tires have a maximum load of 1760-lbs (per tire) and should be filled to 50psi when cold to provide you with the maximum capacity and durability.
view full answer... - Selecting Trailer Tires to Avoid Blowouts During Freeway DrivingTrailer 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...
view full answer... - How to Pick the Correct Tire Size for TrailerWe 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 TrailerCorrect, 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.
view full answer... - Replacing 205/75-14 Trailer Tires Prone To Blow OutsFor 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...
view full answer... - Trailer Tire Replacement Recommendation for 1974 Shasta 1400 with Size 185/75-14Your current tire size is not a standard trailer tire size so you'd want to replace it with the most similar size which happens to be the 205/75R14 like the part # C20514C. This tire has a capacity of 1,760 lbs at 50 psi and has a speed rating of 81 mph. I attached a review video for this tire for you to check out as well.

- Replacement Tire Recommendation for Trailer with 205/75-14 TiresIdeally I would recommend you replace all your tires, but if 2 of them currently look good then you would be able to get by with just replacing two of them for now. The tire I would recommend is the part # C20514C as it is the size you need plus it has a higher speed rating than most trailer tires at 81 mph instead of 65 mph. I attached a review video for this tire for you to check out as well.
view full answer... - Recommended Trailer Tires to Replace 195/75 R14 Sized Passenger Tires on a TrailerYes, 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...
view full answer... - Should I Upgrade My Trailer Tires For a Long TripAs 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. If your tires are a few years old and/or have a lot of miles on them I would definitely replace them though. That being said, it never hurts to have tires that are rated for a heavier load range. The Karrier # AM10235 is currently our only...
view full answer... - Recommended Tire Pressure for 205/75-14 Load Range C Trailer TireYou'll want to keep your 205/75-14 Load Range C tires fully inflated to the 50 psi pressure rating listed on the sidewall. The tires will only have the stated capacity when fully inflated. If they are not fully inflated, the tire's load capacity would be unknown which would lead to a dangerous situation such as a high speed blowout. I've linked you to a series of help articles, which contain more information about trailer wheels and tires than you can shake a stick at.
view full answer... - Trailer Tire Replacement Recommendation for Tire Size 185/75-14Yes, the closest trailer tire size we have that will fit and work great as a replacement for the tire size 185/75-14 is the 205/75-14 like the # C20514C. This will fit and work well on your current wheels and would be rated for a trailer application.
view full answer... - Are Load Range C ST205/75-14 Tires Enough for 5,000 lb Dual Axle Boat TrailerA set of four of the load range C Contender ST205/75R14 Radial Trailer Tire # C20514C will absolutely be enough capacity for a 5,000 lb dual axle boat trailer. These tires have a 1,760 lb capacity per tire so four of them would be plenty to handle the 5,000 lbs of your boat and trailer, with room to spare. This is a really good tire with a deep 7.8/32" tread depth for excellent grip so you've made a good choice. I have added a link to a video review for you to check out as well of...

When you take away a few pounds for the shipping materials that means the tire itself weighs about 18 lbs.
view full answer... - 14 inch Trailer Tire Recommendation for 1963 Aristocrat Lo LinerYou do want to go with trailer tires on your trailer and not passenger vehicle tires. The two styles are designed very differently and it can be potentially dangerous using a vehicle tire on a trailer. You didn't give me a size but the most common 14 inch trailer tire size that would work well is the 205/75-14 like part # C20514C. I like this tire quite a bit because it has a great speed rating at 81 mph and because our customers really like it. The lower price is nice too.

- Selecting New Trailer Tires for Tandem Axle Travel Trailer with GVWR of 6400-lbsSelection of the right trailer tires includes a couple of considerations to keep in mind. These include the type of driving - is it mostly on the interstate? Or is it mostly on local roads or off-road? How fast do you typically drive...65-mph or as fast as the other guys? The reason these things matter is that they can guide your choice of trailer tire. For mostly-highway travel at higher speeds radials are a better choice since they typically run cooler, flex more and provide better...
view full answer... - Trailer Tire Recommendation for 14 inch Wheel To Replace 195/70-14Your tire size of 195/75-14 is not a standard trailer tire size so you'd need to swap it out for a tire size that is rated for trailer tire use. For that we have the ST205/75R14 like the Tasmaster Tire ST205/75R14 # C20514C which has a speed rating of 81 mph. This has a weight capacity of 1,760 lbs at 50 psi.
view full answer... - Recommended Replacement ST205/75R14 RV TiresThe Contender ST205/75R14 Radial Trailer Tire part # C20514C is my recommendation for 205/75-14 tires. These are a great option which offers a speed rating up to 81 mph. They also come with a two year warranty. The Class C rating will handle the weight of the trailer no problem as you will take about 10-15% off for the tongue.
view full answer... - Replacement Trailer Tire to Replace an E78-14STThe closest modern tire size to the E78-14ST that you have is the size 205/75-14. For the best priced option we have the part # C20514C which would work great for you. Unlike most trailer tires this one is rated for up to 81 mph, plus it's a radial which is preferred over bias-ply.
view full answer... - Trailer Tire Spare Recommendation for Size 205/75-14The tire size of 215/75-14 is going to be .4 of an inch taller than the size you have of 205/75-14. In an emergency situation you'd be fine limping home with this setup but I would immediately swap to the correct size or if at all possible go to the correct size now with a tire like the # C20514C which would work well.
view full answer... - Trailer Tire Size Recommendation for Replacing F78-14 STThe modern tire size that matches F78-14 ST is the size 205/75-14 like the Contender part # C20514C which would be a great option. It has a capacity of 1,760 lbs at 50 psi and has a speed rating of 81 mph. ST means that the tire is specifically designed for use on a trailer. This is the only type of tire we'd recommend for a trailer like yours.
view full answer... - Recommended Replacement for C78-14 Trailer TiresThe best trailer tire size we have to work in place of the C78-14 tires you have now is a 205/75-14, the Contender ST205/75R14 Radial Trailer Tire part # C20514C which is only about 1" wider. I recommend the Contender as it has a radial ply to help keep temperatures down, an 81 mph speed rating, and it comes with a 2 year warranty. Please note, the maximum weight capacity is 1,760 lbs per tire.
view full answer... - Trailer Tire Recommendation for 205/75-14 on 1988 TrailerThe Contender tire part # C20514C is a great trailer tire in your size of 205/75-14 and it also has a higher weight capacity of 1,760 lbs at 50 psi. It's speed rating is higher than most trailer tires too at 81 mph. Check out the review video I attached as well.
view full answer... - One Rear Trailer Tire is Wearing Out on Tandem Axle TrailerIf just one of your tires is wearing out on your tandem axle trailer, there could be a number of reasons why. The biggest reason for this occurring is that the tire was not fully inflated to the max psi relative to the other tires, which can cause uneven wear. Another issue could be that there was more of a load on the back rear where that tire is, which can cause uneven wear. Finally, there could be a damaged rim, so you'll want to check that, or possibly an issue with the suspension,...

In regards to load range, what is important is that your tires have a combined capacity that meets or exceeds your trailer's GVWR. Since you said you have a GVWR of 6,000 lbs, a load range C tire will have more...

If they don't have the L or M speed rating, ST tires are limited to 65 mph max.

- Why Do Some Trailer Tires Have 2 Load Ratings Certain trailer tires will indeed have two maximum load ratings, such as with the Taskmaster Contender ST205/75R14 Radial Trailer Tire # C20514C. This is because the tire will have a slightly different weight rating when it is used in a dually setup as opposed to a single tire (on one side of the axle) setup. The load capacity will usually be a bit less when used as a dually tire because with this setup the two tires will always wear a bit differently because of shifting weight and...
view full answer... - What is the Difference Between Bias Tires and Radial TiresWhen 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...
