If you're looking for a tire and wheel combo, there are plenty of options depending on the wheel finish/construction and the weight rating needed.

A very popular option is the Westlake ST225/75R15 Radial Tire w 15" Liger Aluminum Wheel # LH36FR. This aluminum wheel offers the best corrosion resistance paired up with a high-quality Westlake load range E tire, with a maximum load capacity of 2,830 lbs at 80 psi - highest available for this size. This is equivalent to 5,780 lbs for a single axle trailer, or 11,560 for a tandem axle trailer. So, if your dump trailer is under those ratings, these will work perfectly. You'll want to use a stainless steel lug nut, like # LHLR103 with these aluminum wheels.

If you're only looking to replace the tires, they are available separately as part # LHWL304.

One of the reasons why Westlake tires are customer favorites is because a 2-year complimentary roadside assistance is included with any of their tires or tire/wheel combos. This provides you with 24/7 flat tire service available anywhere in the US, Canada or Puerto Rico.
