Trailer tires vs regular tires
I've heard that you can use regular tires on campers as long as you get one load range higher.Any input on this. Thanks

Its probably one tire size larger or equal. P tires need to have the sidewall load amount derated 10%. so as long as this is kept in mind, you should be fine. Many smaller trailers with 13 and 14" sized tires, usually single axle come with P metric tires. I have not had any issues as Barney noted from over flexing sidewalls etc. Then again, these tires do not have a lot of sidewall to flex causing sway and other issues.
Generally speaking tho, most will recommend that one an "ST" or "LT" style tire on a trailer. Like a lot of things in life, there are exceptions, the P tires are probably less than 10% of the time will they work in most situations.
