Endurance Tires

New camper has Westlake ST205/75R15 tires on it.
Going to replace them with Endurance. While checking prices I came across ST225/75R15 Endurance for $15.00 each more tire. Would you use 225 vs. 205?

Grand Junction Transcend 240ML
UVW 6285
Hitch 598
  • OP, this sure seems like something you can figure out without asking the Internet forums opinion…
    But since you did, I’m not in the habit of tossing new tires in the garbage. I’d run them for a while.

    Hope that helped! Lol.
  • Good call dumping the Chinese JUNK!!! You will be happy with the Endurance. If you up in Load range from D to E use the Load/inflation chart for your tire. Most likely you will be running 65psi the same as the D's.
  • The trailer shows a 7495 GVWR = 1875 lbs per tire....
    Dry weight says around 6265 = 1560 lbs per tire....

    This = around 1200 lbs of CCC so most likely the trailer will weigh close to its 7495 lb max gvwr.

    The Endurance ST 205/75-15 load D at 65 psi and a 2175 lb load capacity will give the trailer a nice 15% load reserve capacity. ?

    Some tire dealers have excellent experience with trailer wheels tech and tires tech (matching pressures/load capacities/proper width/etc).......others ??.
    For this trailer I would stick with the OEM sizes/load ranges.
    edit ....jim
  • I stayed with 205. Capacity is greater than my GVWR. Been on several years, no issues.
  • are load range E? I feel one is a D tire. Might be wrong but we bought the E rated endurance.

  • If you have the clearance above and the space between the tires I don't see a problem.
