enclosed trailer with 15" tires?

[Ed Wright]

Best thing I ever did to my 24' ATC was 10 ply 16" wheels & tires. Already had 6 lug 15" wheels. 80psi. Speed rated at 112MPH. Can 't even feel it move when meeting big rigs on 2 lanes. Tows like a different trailer. Thanks to Jeff Tueton for the advice.

I have 16" Goodyear Marathons on my 24' enclosed and I have had no issues in 3 years of service. I agree with the earlier post about the metal valve stems, I have them on my GMC 2500HD rims too with no issues. I pull at 62-64 mph loaded and it works for me.

I run a 235/75/15 Michelin LTX with 55 lbs of air on my 30 ft classic. Two roof airs, onan , corvette golf cart transfer ect . I tow at 80 all day long, the tires stay cool. Highe speed rating than a trailer tire, replace them every 5 year because of dry rot

I have a 32ft enclosed tag trailer 15" wheels,225/75/15 trailer tires.race car,tools,golf cart,about 9500 lbs.try to buy a american made trailer tire-they don't exist!! want to change to 16" wheels & tires but don't the clearence for it.carry 2 spares,go with E rated tires with max air pressure .change tires every 2 years.light truck tires is a option,but they are taller and side wall support is not what it should be,but some people have gone that way with decent results. good luck.

I have a 28' Classic tandem axle tag. It has 15" wheels and 225/75/R15 trailer tires load range (E) which is ten ply. Always use "high pressure" valve stems when running over 45psi. in a tire. I believe it is the law if I'm not mistaken.
Fully loaded going racing I'm towing right around 10,000 lbs down the road. Haven't had any issues.
Good luck this season........

Thanks everyone for the responses. I appreciate the input. We were in Dallas bracket racing a couple weeks ago in preparation for our points meet there next month and happened to take time to walk around and look at all of the trailers. Not that a 16" combo wouldn't be better but 95% of everything we saw had 15" wheels and tires.

Aubrey, I like your "home-brew" approach...wish I was half as handy as you are!

Just be CAREFUL!

Wondering...on your trailer..if tires are bias-ply...and the load rating?

How much pressure in them....also your normal towing speed?
