What is Best Trailer Tire in Size ST205/75-15

Question

Question:

These are two year old load stars, about 5,000 miles, that came on a brand new Load Rite tri-axle boat trailer. My boat is heavy, a Grady White 271 Canyon, probably around 9,000 lbs. I was surprised this tire evaporated like this. As far as replacing it I want to get your advice if I should try another brand, 205-75-15. These tires get torqued hard in turns, so I need the toughest stud tire you have. Thank you Cecil

Hey Cecil, so the best option for your tire size of ST205/75R15 would be the part # TR20515D which is a Load Range D like you had but we have found the Provider Taskmaster tires to be very durable so we recommend them highly.

Hey Cecil, how did the Provider Taskmaster tires hold up with your Load Rite trailer and heavy Grady White boat? Your update could make it easier for others hauling similar loads to choose the right tire.

Hey Bryan, that's a good question. The pricing can definitely be misleading, but I wouldn't use it to judge the quality of the tire. A lot of that comes down to promotions, inventory, and whether you're looking at a tire by itself or…

The 5.30-12 tires, being wider, are going to make more contact with the road. This means that the noise, and heat build up will be higher than a 4.80-12 tire but the rolling resistance will actually be less because the tire is larger diameter. The…

The difference between an load range C and load range D tire in the same size is the capacity and psi rating. The two tires will still have the same dimensions and fit on the same wheel. The D rated tire has a higher capacity. For a ST175/80D13 like…

It sounds like you are speaking of the wires for the brake magnets. If this is correct, you will need to connect one of the wires to the brake controller output wire on your trailer connector and the other wire will need to be grounded to a clean…

Answer 6

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…

The #84 spindle is just a common way to identify the spindle dimensions typically used for 3,500 lb axles. So instead of listing out the parts, people can just say they have #84 spindles and it's easier to know what fits it. The CE Smith Trailer…

Hi Kyler! We definitely have center caps and lug nuts that you can use, but the Kenda Karrier KR35 ST175/80R13 LRD Radial Trailer Tire w/ 13" Aluminum AM03 Wheel - 5 on 4-1/2 #KE34TJ does not include them. With that said, I recommend the…

Hey Joshua, yes the Kenda Karrier KR35 ST175/80R13 LRD part #KE34TJ would fit in place of what you have now as it's exact same tire size and wheel bolt pattern. This will be a nice upgrade in capacity as well as will look a lot nicer as well. How…
