Question:
I have a 4 wheel easy loader boat trailer with 205 75 14 tires. Can I upgrade to a 215 75 14 tire?

When changing tire size, the most important thing you need to know is the size of the wheel and if it designed to handle the different tire.
A 205/75-14 tire like part # AM1ST86 will work on 14 inch wheels that are 5, 5-1/2, 6, or 6-1/2 inches wide.
If you decide to change to a tire that is 215/75-14 like part # AM10229, this tire will fit wheels that are 5-1/2, 6, 6-1/2, and 7 inches wide. This is a load range C radial tire with a load capacity of 1,870 lbs at 50 psi. I have attached a product review video for this tire you can check out.
If you do decide on the 215 tire, the difference in height is very minimal so you should have no problem, but you will want to replace all of the tires at one time to make sure they are evenly balanced.
