Westlake Radials

This radial ply tire from Westlake is constructed with double steel belts and double polyester cords for increased durability. A protective layer of nylon is wrapped around the steel belts to help prevent tread separation.


Westlake Standard Tread Close-Up

The standard tread on this tire has solid, continuous ribs, and there are very few sipes (or thin grooves) cut into the rubber. This tire is designed for use on trailers, so it doesn't require the level of traction that would be needed on a vehicle that is braking or steering.


Radial Tires vs. Bias Tires

Radial tire vs bias tire graphic

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.

  • Will 225/75-15 Tire Fit on 5 Inch Wide Wheel
    It sure will! A 225/75-15 tire will fit on a wheel that's 5, 6, 6-1/2, or 7 inches wide. I've linked to the 225/75-15 load range C, D and E tires we offer.

  • Is There a 14 Inch Diameter Tire That is Also a Load Range E or Higher
    I may have a solution for you, but I'm not aware of a 14" trailer tire existing with these specs (Load Range E and 14 ply). The highest rated 205/75r14 tire we have is the Westlake ST205/75R14 Radial Trailer Tire - Load Range D # 274-000012 which is rated for 2,040-lbs per tire and is an 8 ply tire. These are radial tires, so they're well suited for highway travel and would do just fine on your cross-country trip. Most tires this size top out at Load Range D and have no more than 8 ply. In...

  • Difference Between Trailer Tire Sizes ST205/75R15 and ST225/75R15
    The two sizes you mentioned are pretty similar and fit many of the same 15 inch wheels. The 205/75-15 fits rim widths of 5 inch to 6-1/2 inch whereas the 225/75-15 fits widths that are 5 inch to 6 inch. The 205 is 27.1 inches tall and the 225 is 28.4 inches tall. The 225 has higher capacities available for it as well. Generally people go to the bigger size when they need more capacity than what the 205 offers. In that size the part # LHWL304 is our best option as it has a 75 mph speed...

  • What Size Tire Is A 8-14.5 and Can It Be Replaced with a Car Tire?
    An 8-14.5 tire is a metric sized tire that has a rim width range of 6 inches and an overall diameter of 27.7 inches. An 8-14.5 tire is normally seen on a motor home axle, which is designed for one time use only. We have a good ply G rated tire to replace this is the # AM10327 it has a maximum capacity of 3,070lbs at 116psi. Some trailers can use a light truck tire but you do not want to use a passenger vehicle tire. The problem is that passenger vehicle tires are not rated and constructed...

  • Trailer Tire Load Ranges, Speed Ratings and Sizes to Avoid Blowouts
    Special trailer tires in any given size are available in various load ranges as you noted, but they also can have different speed ratings too. Driving a tire faster than its rated speed can lead to failure just like overloading it past its weight capacity can. Both conditions lead to excess heat and that is what typically leads to a tire failure. Since your 18K trailer has 3 axles and 6 tires each tire should be rated for approximately 3000-lbs if you routinely operate the trailer at its...

  • What Is the Maximum Temperature a Tire Should Get to?
    Typical tires experience a temperature increase of roughly 50 degrees after running on the highway for half an hour. If it's a 70 degree day, the tire temperature should be about 120 degrees. That being said, tires should not get up to or over 195 degrees. This will affect the life of the tire and could potentially cause a blowout over time. So with that being said, I would set the sensor to 170 degrees at the maximum.

  • Larger Diameter Tire Recommendation to Replace Tire Size 205/75-15 on Trailer
    If you went with the next larger 15 inch trailer tire size of 225/75-15 in place of what you currently have and went with a higher Load Range which calls for higher PSI you'd gain about half an inch overall. For that I'd recommend the Westlake tire part # LHWL304 which is this size and is a Load Range E. Has a capacity of 2,830 lbs at 80 psi, a speed rating of 75 mph, and an overall diameter of 28.3 inches.

  • How Often Should Trailer Tires Be Replaced?
    Your friends are pretty close. We suggest replacing tires every 3-6 years or every 10K-12K miles, which ever comes first. Most trailer tires do not get replaced due to mileage and instead age. If you are using tire guards to protect the tires from UV rays while being stored or storing the tire in a garage it will take a bit longer for dry rot to affect the tire. As soon as you start seeing dry rot you should go ahead and plan on replacing the tire. On the other hand if you do not cover...

  • What Load Range Tire is Needed for a 10,000 lb Trailer
    Load range capacity varies based on the tire size and brand, so without knowing either, it's hard to say. For example, a load range D tire in size 145/80-12 has an average capacity of 1,220 lbs, while a load range C tire in size 185/80-13 has an average capacity of 1,480 lbs. So, in this case, the load range C tire has a greater capacity than the load range D tire. It's best to check the weight capacity of an individual tire to make sure the load range will be sufficient. With a fifth wheel,...

  • Can Size 225/75-15 Load Range D Trailer Tires be Replaced with Load Range E Tires
    There's no harm in putting tires with a higher load range on your trailer when replacing them. With that being said there's no gain either. At least not from the load range. The tires technically have a higher capacity but that isn't going to increase the capacity of your trailer because you're still limited by whatever component has the lowest rating. As long as you still keep the trailer within its capabilites the higher rated tires will work just fine for you. I'm guessing your...

  • Trailer Tire Recommendation for Trailer that Weighs 25,000 lbs and Has 8 Wheels
    Since your trailer has 8 wheels and weighs a total of 25,000 lbs that means you'd need a tire capacity of 3,125 lbs per tire in the size of 235/85R16. For that I would recommend the Westlake ST235/85R16 Radial Trailer Tire # LHWL410 which has a capacity of 4,400 lbs at 110 psi per tire. The tire also has a speed rating of 75 miles per hour and a 2 year roadside assistance program. If your RV or trailer has a flat tire, call the help line and a technician will come change the flat for...

  • Best Tire Replacement for Trailer Tire Size H78-15ST
    The H78-15ST tire size is the same as the 225/75-15. Best option for a trailer tire is going to be a radial tire size ST225/75-15 by Lionshead part # LHWL304. This tire has a higher speed rating at 75 mph, is a Load Range E, and has a 2 year roadside assistance program that is really nice. This tire comes with complimentary roadside assistance for 2 years. If your RV or trailer has a flat tire, call the help line and a technician will come change the flat for you. You can call 24 hours...

  • How Much Pressure is Too Much While Driving with Westlake ST225/75R15 Radial Trailer Tire
    It's normal for trailer tires like the Westlake ST225/75R15 Radial Trailer Tire part # LHWL304 to heat up while in use which then in turn increases the psi inside. The cold fill rating of the tire actually takes this into account. That said, there is a limit as to how much pressure can increase before the protentional for a blowout occurs. The typically recommendation is anything over 15 psi higher than the cold fill rating should be addressed. The most common cause of excess pressure is...
    view full answer...
  • Should Tire Pressure Be Adjusted to Account for Heat While Driving
    Your tires like the # LHWL300 should still be inflated to 65 psi. When the manufacturers set the cold fill rating they account for variations due to temperature change from weather and driving. As a general rule of thumb, tire pressure increases by 1 psi for every 10 degrees Fahrenheit of temperature change. A 10 psi change is fairly normal, and anything over 15 psi is where you should be concerned and address it. If you find that your tires are overheating it is likely due to improper...

  • Is Westlake ST225/75R15 Radial Trailer Tire a Retread Tire
    Hello Ron, Nope, the Westlake ST225/75R15 Radial Trailer Tire # LHWL304 is not a retread tire. This is a new tire that has its original tread on it.

  • Will Westlake ST225/75R15 Radial Trailer Tire # LHWL304 Work Well on 2 Ton Trailer
    Yes, the Westlake ST225/75R15 Radial Trailer Tire # LHWL304 that you referenced will work great on your trailer that weighs 4,000 lbs. Each of these tires is rated for 2,830 lbs which means that even if your trailer was a single axle you'd have enough tire capacity for it. This also has a speed rating of 75 mph and a 5-year warranty as well.

  • Availability of 15 by 6 inch Trailer Wheel with Tire Size 225/75R15 in Load Range E
    We don't have anything pre-mounted, but we do have the wheel part # AM20537 which is a 15 inch diameter by 6 inch wide wheel with a 5 on 4-1/2 inch bolt pattern that you could have the # LHWL304 mounted to. This is a 225/75R15 like you need in a Load Range of E.

  • Recommended 225/75R15 Tire Upgrade From Load Range D To Load Range E
    Yes you can use the same size tire and same wheel and upgrade the tires. I recommend the Provider ST225/75R15 Radial Trailer Tire - Load Range E # TR225LRE. They are rated for 2,830 lbs at 80 psi and speeds up to 81 mph. These tires come with a 2 year warranty and have automotive grade sipes for better traction on wet roads. They also have tread depth indicators like most vehicle tires to show tread wear and when they need replaced. Another great option is the Westlake ST225/75R15...

  • Does Westlake ST225/75R15 Tire With Silver Mod Wheel Come In White
    It is possible to get the Westlake ST225/75R15 Radial Trailer Tire w/ 15" Silver Mod Wheel # LHAW124 in white. However, a wheel and tire combo is not available so you will have to purchase them separately. The same Westlake tire would be the # LHWL304. For the white 15" x 6" wheel with a 6 on 5-1/2 bolt pattern you need the # AM20552. If you would prefer a wheel and tire combo then the # AM32673 is another option. This comes with a Kenda load range D tire. If you want the load range E...

  • Should the Same Two 4.80-12 Tires Have the Same Outer Diameter.
    Assuming you have the same two 4.80-12 tires, they should have the same outer diameter. It sounds like the reason for the difference was the different psi in each tire. Once you have filled both to the max psi, the diameter should be identical. The only other reason they might vary is if it is two different tires. For example, the Kenda # AM10062 has an outer diameter of 20.5" when inflated and the Taskmaster # TT48012C has an outer diameter of 20.63" even though both are 4.80-12 tires.

  • Replacement Tire For A ST235/17R15 Trailer Tire
    : The ST235/17R15s tires you referenced are not a standard sized trailer tire. They're a very difficult tire to find. Your best bet would be to replace them with a more common tire like the 225/75R15 tires which are extremely close in overall dimensions which I will put below. 235/75R15 tires are 9.3 inches wide with a height of 28.8 inches. 225/75R15 tires are 8.9 inches wide with a height of 28.3 inches. The Westlake ST225/75R15 Radial Trailer Tire # LHWL304 is a load range E tire with...

  • What Rims do You Recommend for My 225/75-15 Tires?
    I did some research on your 225/75-15 tires like the # LHWL304 and discovered that the recommended width of your rims should be between 6 and 7-1/2 inches wide. For a great wheel that fits these requirements and has a 5-on-5 bolt pattern, I recommend the Dexstar Steel Mini Mod Trailer Wheel - 15" x 6" Rim - 5 on 5 # AM20538DX. The Mini Mod wheel is constructed of steel and includes a modular design that is sturdy and corrosion resistant. This wheel is also made 100% in the U.S.A.
