Don, I have the option of going with the Kumho D tires which will also up my capacity but back when I bought my Maxxis I didn't have that option. They're still the only D 14" I can find.
Raising trailer does nothing to help the tire to tire spacing that is controlled by axle location. It would help with wheel well spacing. I wasn't sure what the min clearance was. I also didn't know if going to a 15 gained any other advantages vs just getting the Kumho D tires.
Another 14" load range D, LT tire is the Hankook RA08, although I feel the availability of the Kumho 857 is better.
If you could use the 15" good year Cargo G26, then it's load capacity is greater than the Kumho simply because it's a bigger tire. Look on tire rack for it's specs.
The Hankook RA08 is a great tire, LRD, 8 ply, 99 mph rated.. Got mine fresh from www.busdepot.com. $500 and some change for 4 shipped to me.
I cannot locate the Hankook RA08 on the manufacturer site. I can find it for sale on a few online retailer sites, but that's it. Any idea how one can research this to see if it truly is a proper trailer-use tire and has the necessary sidewall reinforcement to deal with trailering specific loads???
