I only wish there were a selection of LRD or LRE LT tires in 15" to choose from. AFAIK there is only 1 I am aware of, a 15" for sprinter vans.
LRC not an issue in 15"LT, but LRD or E another story. Now if you already have 16" rims, much easier task.
Yeah years back we had handfuls of 14"/15" LT in C/D and some E tires for 1/2 ton size vehicles. Sometime in the '80s 1/2 ton size vehicles started going away with 15" wheel sizes (bigger brakes).
Looking at a RMA info letter on their web 2-3 years back says in a few more years even 16" LT and P tires will follow 14"/15" into history.
Lets all hope the ST tire industry can keep upgrading their C/D/E tire quality.
Timmo mentioned his Goodyear Wrangler on his trailer which is a excellent upgrade but he didn't say what size....just the brand/line name.
Goodyear Wrangler HT comes in LT235/75-15 C load range at 1980 lbs. Several other domestic tire makers did have that size/load range.
Goodyear did have a LT215/85-15 load D at 2095 lbs capacity in the Wrangler HT. Both are a good choice if the capacity works for the axle capacity.
Maxxis in a UE-168 is their commercial LT tire and shows 14" and 15" LT tires sizes in D and E. Check them out.
My Maxxis dealer turned into a Cooper tire dealer so I haven't kept up on Maxxis offerings.
