Don’t waste your money, go to 16” wheels. Way more options for tires.

Well then I guess you would have to stay with a 15" tire, but I would imagine there is a 16" that would fit.

Before I found load range “E” and long before the load range “F” I shopped for 16 inch trailer tires. The 16 that was the same height as a 225/75 15 has a significantly lower load rating pound wise than a 15 inch load range “E”. Load range “E” almost cured my trailer tire problems and I’m certain these new “F” tires will do the job. They are beasts, they look like low boy trailer tires.

Hercules 225/75-15 load range F. Absolute beasts. My tire guy is still mad at me for bringing to him to mount. They are heavy with a stiff sidewall. I don’t remember how much air they take, but it’s a lot.

I bought Trailer King RST tires this spring. They were very reasonable and balanced out well. Also found these are the tires that intech installs at the factory. I have found the best prices at Simple Tire as well as Walmart on-line.

We run F range or better on all our trailers.
Big improvement over E. But a lot more money!

Often because of tire height the 16 will not fit unless
you have the trailer built initially with fender high enough
initially.

My son is a trailer manufacturer = So I learn a lot thru Osmosis.
