Question:
I have a 2007 Keystone Springdale 291RKS travel trailer, it has the original steel white wheels and needs tires. I just brought the trailer and it has different tires on it that are bad. It shows ST225/75/D15 I wanted to replace them with the best tires possible.. I will be driving up the CA mountains with the trailer, What tires do you recommended and would a load range E be bette,r and if so will the wheels be ok for the additional pressure? Thank you

The Keystone Springdale M-291 tandem axle travel trailer has a dry weight of 6700-lbs according to my research but the trailer's primary VIN plate should let you confirm your specific trailer's GVWR as well as its axle's weight rating.
The linked page displays all special trailer (ST type) tires in your ST225/75-15 size. The highest-rated for weight are indeed the Load Range E tires. The tires I recommend are the E-rated Westlake radials # LHWL304. A tire that is run well below its maximum capacity will tend to stay cooler, and since heat is a tire's worst enemy a cooler-running trailer tire is a good thing.
I like these tires not just for their substantial 2830-lb weight rating but also for their unmatched 5-Year warranty AND their 2-Year Free 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 you. You can call 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, and 365 days a year from anywhere in the United States, Canada, or Puerto Rico. Peace of mind does not always cost an arm and a leg.
When you have your local shop mount the tires to your rim they will simply need to select a value stem rated for these tires' 80-psi pressure.
It is important to always maintain any trailer tire's COLD pressure at its specified rating - in this case the 80-psi - since a tire can deliver its rated performance only when properly inflated.
