Have been running on P22575r15 load range D but have 2 blow outs in the last 2 times I have been out.
I am looking for a good tire not from China if possible.
Not all made in china tires are junk. We have some very high quality P...LT...and ST tires out here.
But yes some made in china tires have been junk tires better made for around town lawn service trailers or a utility trailer that gets used a few times making trips to Lowes/etc.
There are no P225/75-15 D load range tires....P tires don't come with a C/D E ratings and have max pressure ratings in the 44-51 psi range.
Most likely you have ST225/75-15 D at 65 psi and 2540 lbs capacity. MFL gave you some good ST tire brands which are the new gen higher speed rated tires. The Provider ST class tires have been around since the '10 era and have been top rated on haulers websites and come OEM on a couple RV mfg.
We don't have any 15" LT tires left anymore as 1/2 ton trucks don't use them so tire makers have dropped them over the years. Some of the brands mentioned come only in 16" and larger sizes. In years past with all ST tires not being very reliable many trailer owners switched to 16" LT tires if there was room in the wheel wells.
