Changing From 14" to 15" Tires and Rims
In order to add a weight capacity reserve on my tires I am thinking of going from ST205/75r14C to ST205/75r15D. Lots of capacity reserve gained with this change. It seems simple enough; all size specs...

Check out etrailer.com. They have wheel/tire combos in your size, but load range D.. That's #2040 max load per tire.
I have 13" tires on my trailer and the OEM tires were only LR B tires... I moved up to D tires in the same size and love the extra capacity, so no real worries..
Yes, they are "Made in China" tires... But, the only flat I've had in 14 years was with the original B rated Goodyear Marathon tires when it was brand new..
Anyway, upping the load range does not raise your sticker ratings, but it does raise the reliability of the tires IMO..
Good luck!
