8000# GVWR Toyhauler - need 15" LT tire recommendation

I rolled with Maxxis UE168n bravo's for a long time with my previous TH.. 14 inch wheels .. no issues at all..

Asuming you have 4 tires and 2 axles, you need at least 8000/4= 2000 lbs maximum load a tire.
Found with google LT 195R15 Loadindex 106/104 wich is maximum load a tire single 2050 lbs , and Dual 1984 , so for dual load axle ( 1 axles with 4 tires on it) to less , and for tandemaxle so 2 axels and 4 tires total , eanaugh to law but a bit poor .

But if you never load it fully , it would be enaugh.
When you load it to the max , minimum of 10% reserve would be nice for unequall load R/L , little overloading.
So that would mean a loadindex of 108 would be needed with 2205 lbs maximum load.

These are the things you have to take in to account when searching for tires.

All 8000 will not be on axles. Assuming you have at least 6 in wide rims, you can use Link to Amazon or another Link to Amazon
OR Link to ones I use carrying 8000lb on 4 tires.

Amazon has several others also link or link

Go weigh the individual axles at a CAT Scale and then make a choice.

Any tire with a Load index of 105 (print on the sidewall) or higher will a capacity of over 2000 lbs

I have always had good luck Michelin LTX tires and they do come in 235/75R15 load rang 109.

Goodyear Wrangler HT LT215/75/15 load range D

Firestone Transforce Ht Lt2357515 have a load capacity of 1,985 lbs

Think you'll have better luck finding high load cap tires with trailer tires rather than LT tires. Trucks with 15" wheels went out about the time fuel injection came standard.

Thanks - what's the net diff between a 235 / 215 and 225? can't be much I would imagine?

Does anyone know if the discount tire will mount LT tires on a trailer? I like using them when possible.

depends on your local manager.. mine was a douche about it, so i jacked up the trailer in my driveway and took the wheels and new tires to them and they mounted the tires. they seem to have some sort of issue mounting the same tires with the trailer present on their property.. :h
