Question:

I currently use st195/75D14 which are very hard to find, can I go to the 205/75D14 marine tires you offer. Just bought a used boat and tires are shot. Thank you for your time

Expert Reply:

The 19575-14 and 205/75-14 tire sizes are close enough that you won't have any issues with this transition.

The tire I recommend picking up is the Karrier ST205/75R14 Radial Trailer Tire # AM10234 because it's very reliable, has a load range C rating (1,925 lbs at 60 psi), and a max speed rating of 81 mph.

If you don't plan on reusing the wheels on your trailer then you can get this same tire with a galvanized wheel and a 5 on 4-1/2" bolt pattern as part # AM32156.
