Thanks for the feedback. Also requests for more info from me.
I do see some minimal sidewall cracking, no cracks between the treads. The tires were supposedly new when installed in 2014 by the dealer my lady bought the TT from, but the date codes show 2010. The 4 road tires all evenly lost about 5 pounds sitting since last summer when last aired up. Spare was down 15 pounds, never been checked, at least in the last two years.
The current tires are Tow Masters, load range C, size ST205/75R14. Rated 1,760 pounds each X 4 is 7,040 pounds. That is a cushion of about 30% over the TT max weight.
I have not found the actual axle ratings yet, but the TT is a 2-axle rated for 5,000 pounds max weight.
Does replacement with same load range sound reasonable? I'm still hunting down the trailer specification to see if it calls out different size or load range.
