Will Trailer Tire Size ST225/75R15 Fit Same Wheel as 7.00-15LT

Question

Question:

I have an old camper with 7.00 x 15” tires. I tried to put 225/75r15 trailer tire on the rim and it seams to be to loose around the bead area to hold air. Do I need a special tire for these rims?

The two tire sizes you mentioned fit the same diameter and width trailer wheel so unless something really unusual is going on with your wheels the new tires should fit. Is it just that the bead of the new tire is not seated on the wheel yet?

The 7.00-15LT tires you have on your 1978 Avion trailer have a 29.4" diameter, have a load range that should be in the 2,400 lb vicinity and fit wheels that are 5", 5-1/2" and 6". For comparable tires I recommend going with a…

The two sizes you mentioned are pretty similar and fit many of the same 15 inch wheels. The 205/75-15 fits rim widths of 5 inch to 6 inch whereas the 225/75-15 fits widths that are 5 inch to 6-1/2 inch. The 205 is 27.1 inches tall and the 225 is 28.4…

Answer 5

A 7.00-15 trailer tire is still a relatively common size, but we do not carry them. The next closest size is going to be an ST205/75-15 such as #AM10245 rated for 2,150 pounds at 65 psi. Both sizes fit the same size wheels.

There is not an equivalent trailer tire to your light truck tires that are 7.00-15, which have an overall diameter of 29.4" and width of 7.8". A 225/75-15 tire such as the Karrier #AM10256 is similar, with a 28.4" diameter and…

Hey Paul! The #AM20504 you looked at with the +0.5" offset is the only truly solid black wheel we have in this size. The closest thing with 0 offset is the Dexstar Conventional Steel Wheel #AM20514 but it has four small cutouts around the edges…

In this situation I would actually recommend just replacing the wheel studs themselves. The studs on your current hubs should be able to be knocked out, working at the front side of the hub. That way, you would be able to compare your current studs…

Answer 12

It comes down to how much weight the trailer will be at when it's loaded and ready to tow and how much capacity the tires have. If you can determine the max your trailer will weigh and then add up the capacity of all of your trailer tires…
