Kumho radial 857 185R14, speed rated 99 mph, max load 1874 lb @ 65 psi. Thanks, gmw, that's a good tip. I might even get some of those in 205R14 for my cargo trailer when the existing ones get thin.
Yes sir... and check your clearance vs the overall diameter of the Kumho. Bear in mind they are an 82 series section height, so for instance, that tire in a 205, is going to be taller than the typical very common ST tire size of 205/75-14 ( since the ST is a lower profile, 75 series ).
In my case, I went to the 185-14 in the Kumho, as it was just very slightly smaller in diameter compared to the 205-75 that came on the camper. The 185 is 1/2" narrower at the tread compared to my original ST tires.
There is also a 195, which might be a good choice for some trailers. Check the tire rack site as it gives all the various dimensions of all three sizes.
