Can Load Range D Trailer Tire Size ST205/75R14 Replace Tires on 2015 R-Pod Model 178
Question:
Jameson, Thank you for the prompt reply. I understand that you have a ‘D’ load range tire that will fit my factory rims and that it has an 80 PSI rating. I need to know if my R-pod #178 factory wheel/rims can safely take this increased PSI. The original tires were only rated at 50 PSI. Or, is it advisable and safer to remain with a 50 PSI tire ? Please reply.

We have a Load Range D trailer tire in size ST205/75R14 as part # AM10235. This tire will fit easily on your current rim since this is the same size as what you have.
It actually requires 75 psi which we have the valve stem part # AM20904 which is rated for 80 psi that you could use with it. Your valve stems will get replaced when you take the wheel to a tire shop to have the tires mounted. Most likely they'd have the correct valve stem, but if not the # AM20904 will also work.
