2021 Keystone Hideout 177rd Replacement Trailer Tires

Question

Question:

Dear eTrailer Team, I’m looking to replace the tires on my travel trailer and would appreciate your assistance in ing the correct ones. Here are the key details of my trailer: - 2021 Keystone Hideout 177rd - GVWR: 4,400 lbs - Axles: Single axle 2 tires total - Current tire size: 205/75R14 108/103M - Typical use: Summer road trips, highway speeds up to 65–70 mph I understand that each tire should support at least 2,200 lbs to safely cover the trailer’s maximum weight, but I’m unsure which load index and models would be best for my needs. I would like reliable tires with good road durability. Could you recommend suitable tire options for my setup, and let me know if I should consider any other specifications? Thank you in advance for your help! Best regards, Malte

Hey Malte, the Karrier trailer tire part # KE28KV that you referenced is your best option. This has a 2,200 lb weight capacity like you need (it's highest rated option we carry), has a great tread pattern, warranty, and a higher speed rating at 81 mph. What tires do you have now?
