Can Trailer Tire Size 205/75R15 be Replaced with 225/75R15
Published 12/10/2018
Question:
I believe the 225 tire is larger than the 205 tire on my trailer now. I would like to go with new rims and tires and go larger on the tire since I need to drive through the lawn on occasion and I think these would not sink in the lawn as much. From the photos, do you think this would be a good rim/tire from my trailer?

Helpful Expert Reply:
Yes, you could easily upgrade from your 205 series trailer tire and wheel to a 225 series like the Karrier ST225/75R15 Radial Trailer Tire # AM32468 that you referenced. This has the correct bolt pattern that you'd need too based on your pictures as well. The added width will also help prevent the tire from sinking in too.
