My last 2 trailers,and one was brand new,I replaced all the trailer tires with LTs and never had a problem. I would like to find a 215 75 15 LT with a highway tread but they just aren't available, that I can find. Is there really a problem with bias ply tires? I would rather have a little truck tire than a trailer tire if possible.
Years back we had 14" LT and lots of 15" LT tires for 1/2 ton trucks and S10 size trucks. Truck mfg don't use those sizes anymore so tire mfg dropped them.
We have several usa tire mfg still producing a LT235/75-15 C load range at 1980 lbs capacity and around 28.8" diameter.
Goodyear markets a LT215/85-15 load range D (65 psi) at 2095 lbs capacity and around 27-7" diameter. Check out USA tire mfg websites for current 15" LT tire size and load ranges.
Just for info.....ST tires come in old tech bias ply and radial tires....just like a P and LT tires.
