Expert Reply:
The only reason to switch to a load range G tire (14 ply rating) like the # WE76FR over your current load range E tires would be if the current tires do not have a high enough capacity. If the current tires are underrated you will have problems and should definitely switch. More than likely the capacity of your current tires exceeds that of the trailer and this is not an issue.
If you find that you need to add new tires with a higher capacity, I would be happy to help you find the correct replacement tire if you let me know your current tire size.
