Question:

I am interested in your TA74FR as a spare tire for my boat trailer. The trailer is rated for 3400lb and the boat is 2800lb. This tire is rated for 2100lb, will it handle my load or is there a heaver load tire available in this size range?

The Taskmaster Provider ST205/75R15 Radial Trailer Tire with 15" White Mod Wheel - 6 on 5-1/2 - Load Range D
Item # TA27VR has a 2,150 lb weight rating which would be more than enough for your trailer since you have two tires on your trailer to split the load between. When determining tire capacity you have to double the tire and wheel capacity to determine the overall tire and wheel capacity. This setup would have a total capacity of 4,300 pounds.
