Highest Load Range Tire Sized ST175/80-13

Published 08/24/2015

Question:

Is there another load rating tire I can go to in 13? I just purchased a new tire ST17580D13 1360 max x2 =2720 for a 16 camper that I just found out dry weight is 2630 lbs, single axle. I can not find out what it originally had since it is an 1982 model. Is this tire OK.

The highest Load Rating we offer in your size of ST175/80-13 is a Load Range D like the part # AM10210 which has a 1,610 lbs at 65 psi rating.

I attached a review video for you to check out as well.

This tire is a radial which would be an improvement over the bias-ply tires you currently have.

A radial tire will normally run cooler than a bias ply tire, especially when the tire is under a load. A tire that runs cooler will last longer.

A bias ply tire has a stiffer sidewall than a radial, a feature that might be useful for off road applications like farm use.
