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.

I am a great fan of etrailer, but these tires are very poor. I am very diligent about tire pressures and lug nut torque and check both before every trip or after an overnight stop. Tires are inflated per the manufacturers specification. The trailer had these as OEM equipment, and this tire was a replacement for one of them. The trailer is 24' and was carrying my Mini track car. Speed was around 70mph as a maximum. We weighed it and it was certainly no where near the weight limit for the trailer or the tires. Despite all of that, three of these tires delaminated and exploded on my ATC trailer in the space of two trips over about 6 months. They were costly to replace and did significant damage to my wheel wells and steps, which added to the expense. I would not recommend buying these tires.

I have used these tires on a few of my trailers with no issues. Highly recommend

Excellent

Very good tires, second set I've owned.. Will use them again.. We have an account with etrailer. Always have treated up well.



by:

Tire arrived in perfect condition. The year of the tire was made was the year purchased. Will purchase another set in two years since I replace every three years. Price was good.
Thanks you,

When a nail punctured the sidewall of my trailer tire I found myself in need of a quick replacement. With no local business able to provide an exact replacement, a web search quickly yielded information about etrailer and their quality of service. After ordering, I had the tire in a very short time and I’m back on the road! Great support, and always kept informed that my order had been placed, shipped, and delivered. Can’t ask for much more than that.



by:

Heard about E-Trailer from JD with BigTruckBigRV (youtube).
Absolutely flawless execution of order, delivery, update information, tracking etc.

Could not be happier got them mounted to day and they are awesome.
Thank you.



by:

Your service is excellent. Unfortunately, UPS goofed up with delivering the order. Thank you for your follow up.

These tires are exactly what I ordered they are a very good tire. Had some exactly like these on another trailer and they did fantastic no problems and tread wear was good.

The tires I purchased have been working fantastic. I especially like them that they dont have little sipes in the tires which allows them to get rid of the rocks and dont get stuck in the tread. Wear is also perfect. Would recommend this tire to anyone that needs them.



by:

Good product. I wish side walls be a bit stronger...



by:

I give a 5 star rating to etrailer as they never disappoint. I'm hoping these 4 tires that go on my camper will do the same. I was pleased them as the original camper tire.

In the past year we have traveled from Virginia to Nova Scotia and back. And also from Virginia to Florida and back. The tires still look brand new. Thus, very pleased!

Absolutely great packaging and shipping. Quick turn around from order to receipt. Now there is one more item that I can add to my list to purchase from your company. Thank you so much.

Still a wonderful set of tires. I will definitely reorder when these get to that worn out period.



by:

I checked with the “Big Tire Companies such as Les Schwab, and Americas Tires and I had no luck. They said that they couldn’t get the same tire that I needed. I called e trailer and they knew exactly what I needed. I paid for it and a couple of days later I received exactly what I needed. Super People,Super Store,
Super Service. I have will be back for more items.

These tires do come with a complimentary roadside assistance for 2 years and have a 5 year warranty against manufacturer defect. If there is anything that we can help you with please let us know.



by:

Made in China has a connotation of poor quality at best, most of the time junk.
These Westlake tires are made in China however to the contrary they are top-quality.
Don’t hesitate in using these as replacement!
Plus buy them from etrailer.com, for first class service, call and asked for Chris W!!

Great customer service, excellent tire performance at a good price



by:

Very good service.



by:

I give one star because I can't give 0!
I've
had nothing but trouble. Two of four of these tires have delaminated causing over five thousand dollars in damages to my 2019 Grand Design 21g. I have used a tire pressure monitoring system since day one. Always running the recommended 80 psi cold. I removed all of these tires "China Bombs " and threw them away. I replaced them with Goodyear Endurance. I'm just one of many victims of these tires. Do your homework!You will find many people with the same problems. My tires had less than 9000 miles when they just exploded. I am a very careful driver and there is nothing I could have done to contribute to the tire failures. Note the two failures were more than a month apart. On opposite sides of the camper.



by:

Showed up fast! Days earlier than expected. Definitely the turn-to company for trailer tires



by:

In stock, exact match for my Aluma trailer and terrific customer service



by:

Unfortunately we had 2 blowouts with these Westlake tires in August 2021. 1 of them was less that a year old with maybe 1,000 miles on it. After the 2nd blowout which caused significant damage to the travel trailer, we replace all Westlakes with another brand.



by:

purchased with white rims to match....has been a good purchase and received some valued input from e-trailer. (needed better load range tires but needed rims to match my bolt pattern). Tires seem to be of high quality.



by:

Installed 4 Westlake tires on my toy hauler last spring and they have been great! Shipping was fast and had no issues.



by:

Fast shipping and an exact replacement for my travel trailer. I've had these Westlake ST 225/75R15s on my GD2970RL (8,500lbs) for just under a year and have had no problems at all, and we've towed a solid 5,000 miles or more so far. Yes, they are Chinese made, but they have to meet DOT standards and I know plenty of folks that run these on various types of trailers with no problems at all. We were returning from a camping trip recently and got a sharp piece of metal stuck in the side of one of the tires. We're pretty sure it was from an area of road construction we went through. Would've been the exact same outcome even if I had a super high-end tire. The tire held up perfectly other than the small leak. Luckily, we have roadside assistance, so they helped get us swapped over to the spare pretty quick. Had a real hard time finding one locally, but etrailer had me a new one in 2 days! Not even gonna miss our trip this weekend! Thanks etrailer!



by:

I have been running these tires for the last 4 years on my 35ft Travel Trailer, with zero issues. Decided to put a fresh set on for some upcoming trips. eTrailer was great to deal with. Easy to Order, Fast to deliver!. Tires are installed, and all is right with the world! Don't buy other trailer tires for your trailer. This is the one!

Westlake trailer tires have always given me good service and etrailer was fast and received the right tire in good shape

  • 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...

  • 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.

  • 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 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...

  • 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.

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...

  • 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.

  • 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.

We do have the Karrier ST205/75R15 Radial Trailer Tire # AM10244 and Westlake ST225/75R15 Radial Trailer Tire # LHWL304 that will fit both the 5" and 6" wide wheels.

    I recommend the Dexstar Steel Mini Mod Trailer Wheel - 15" x 6" Rim - 6 on 5-1/2 in Black # AM20560, White # AM20552, or Silver # AM20539. Each of these wheels have the 6 on 5-1/2" bolt pattern you are looking for, and a load rating of 2860lbs which matches the load rating of a 225/75R15 Load Range E tire like the # LHWL304. The main thing is making sure the valve stem you use is rated for the 80 PSI that an 275/75r15 Load range E tire uses. I recommend the # AM20906 which is rated for...

  • Will Load Capacity Of Aluminum HWT 07 Series 6 Spoke Trailer Wheel Handle Trailer Weight of 4500 lbs
    Yes, the Aluminum HWT 07 Series 6 Spoke Trailer Wheel - 15" x 6" - 6 on 5-1/2 # AM20458 has a weight capacity of 2,830 lbs. That is per wheel, so when you use it on a single axle, you would double that capacity giving you a max capacity for your trailer of 5660 lbs. You will be limited by the tires you choose as well as the capacity of the axle itself. For a matched tire rating to the wheel, I recommend the Westlake ST225/75R15 Radial Trailer Tire - Load Range E # LHWL304. This tire...

  • Can I Swap From St215/75R15 to ST225/75R15 Tires on 2020 Forest River Wildwood Heritage
    This will come down to the amount of clearance that you've currently got from the top and inside of your tires to the frame of the trailer or wheel well; in most cases you'll want to make sure that you've got at least 3" of clearance from the tops of the wheel wells and 1" or so from the inside of the tire to the frame. With that said, your current ST215/75R15 tires are 27.7" tall and 8.5" wide and an ST225/75R15 tire like the # LHWL304 is 28.3" tall and 8.9" wide, so the difference would...

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • How to Determine if a Larger Tire Size Can Be Used on a Trailer
    Choosing the correct replacement tire/wheel will depend on a few things. First, and most importantly, will be the tire clearance. The standard ST225/75R15, like the Westlake # LHWL304, will have a diameter of 28.3 inches and you will need to have at least 3 inches from the top of the tire to the bottom of fender. The Kenda Karrier ST235/85R16 Radial Trailer Tire with 16" Aluminum Wheel - 6 on 5-1/2 - Load Range E # AM32734 will have a diameter of 31.6 inches, so you will need to make sure...

In short, Lionshead is the brand and Westlake/Castle Rock is the model. The main difference between these two is that the Castle Rock tire has a load range D (2,540 lbs) and the Westlake tire has a load range E (2,830 lbs) rating.

  • Correct Tire Pressure for Westlake ST225/75-R15 Trailer Tire
    The Westlake ST225/75R15 Radial Trailer Tire # LHWL304 has a max psi of 80, which you correctly filled it to, and you will always want to keep your cold psi (the psi before you drive) to the maximum. Doing this will give you the best performance, allowing the tire to wear more slowly and give you optimum gas mileage.

Now the other issue I see that you are using a passenger vehicle tire on your trailer which isn't the safest option. You really should go with a tire that is rated for use on a trailer so that you prevent premature failure and possibly cause other issues. The Westlake tire part # LHWL304 would be...

This capacity falls quite a bit below the 10,596 pound loaded weight of your trailer that you mentioned, so I definitely recommend upgrading to a tire with a greater load capacity.

With that said, you could go down to an ST225/75r15 tire like the # LHWL304 and only lose about .2" of total ground clearance. These tires have a Load Range E with a maximum capacity of 2,830 lbs at 80 psi and a speed rating of L- which means they're safe up to 75mph.
