Question:
I currently have th 205 75 R 14 on my rv and looking at replacing with this tire but with a 15inch wheel. Is this tire recommended to take on long 1000-2000k mile road trips safely? If not, what is a set recommended.

It definitely is Landon! The Kenda Karrier KR53 ST205/75R15 Radial Trailer Tire item # KE94WV is a load range D tire that will work great on the highway for a long trip. It has a 2,200 lbs capacity per tire and a maximum speed 87 mph.
The 15" wheel included with the Kenda item # KE94WV has a 5 on 4-1/2" lug nut pattern and is powder coated for durability and corrosion resistance.
Please note that the Kenda item # KE94WV has an outside diameter of 26.9". This makes it .8" larger than your current 205/75/R14 tires. You will want to ensure that you have at least 3.8" of clearance around your current tires below and around you fenders.
What kind of trailer do you have and do you have a long road trip planned?
