Question:

Gentlemen, I have a 2020 Coleman Lantern Travel Trailer, 20, and it has 2 axles with ST205/75R14 Load Range D Silver Mod wheels. the trailer is 4,328 lbs dry, so around 5,000 lbs as it sits today. It did not come with a spare, so I need to get one. I can find load range C on silver mod wheels all day long, but the range D is limited. Can I get by with a C as a spare? What are the different weight capacities for these tires in this size?

Expert Reply:

Ideally you are going to want to have four of the same size tires with the same load rating and there is an option for load range D ST205/75R14 tires and silver mod wheels, though they would need to be purchased separately and the tires would need to be put on the wheels by a tire or trailer shop.

For that you can use the Westlake ST205/75R14 Radial Trailer Tire - Load Range D # 274-000012 with the Taskmaster Vesper Steel Modular Trailer Wheel - 14" x 6" Rim - 5 on 4-1/2 - Silver # TA45MR to get the same combination of tire and wheel style you currently have.
