I have a 2008 Starcraft 2700BH. It came with Duro Radial ST DS 2100 IN 205/75/R14 LOAD C. GVWR of trailer is 7100 lbs. The current tires are rated for 1760 lbs at 50psi. Which would give me 3520 per axle or 7040 GVWR. I have 60 pound difference in allowable weight. Based on those calculations, I am pretty close to max. Would it be feasible to upgrade tire and rim to a 205/75/R15 tire/rim combo. By that choice, i can get a Load range D type of tire and not have to worry about weight. Would I have to have the axels realigned to a bigger tire. or does anybody make a tire in 205/75/R14 LOAD D range.
ps. tongue weight is 584
axles: LCI axels 3500 Lbs. ( Lippert Corp)
Yes, Kumho makes a load range D tire for that size application. Radial 857
Here is one online retailer that carries them:
