Fed up with tire blow outs!!!

IMO, the size tires and wheels are too small for your trailer. Going to 15" wheels gives many more options, and a D-rated ST tire in that size would work, as would an LT, if you find it. You can buy the wheels, with ST tires already mounted, shipped free to your door. The wheels really are not that expensive.

OP, you're getting more mis-information than help, almost, in this thread.
Case in point, recommending larger wheels when there are tires available in 14" size that are rated 50% greater in capacity than the load you are putting on them. (BTW, I looked up the trailer spec, added a ton to the dry weight and this is still firmly in a 14" D tire range)


You have 3 of 4 tires which you don't know the pressure they had, don't know the tire age, we don't know how they were stored AND they were likely the cheapest tires that could be had at the factory.

Do THIS:
Make sure the axle(s) aren't bent or out of alignment.
Put 4 new D load 215-75-14s on it. 2200lb capacity, well over what you're carrying. Pick your brand.
Take care of the tires. IE: cover them if stored in direct sunlight.
Keep them aired up properly.
Make sure your trailer is level when towing. If it's torsion spring axles, this is imperative. Not so much so with leaf springs.
And take a different route to the campground....lol.

If you do all these things, you will not have further issues. Don't over complicate and learn to sift thru bogus responses, like 16" wheels on a light duty 5 lug trailer.

FWIW, the vast majority of trailer tire issues I've had came (from Marathons, but different story) from trailers that were purchased, stored outside in the desert southwest. 1 trailer was delivered to me with low air pressure (and I had to run 100 mi out to bring the guy another tire...).
