So, I have a 2007 Keystone Outback 23rs. The tires that are on it are 205/75R14's they are aged and looking worn. I would like to replace them with a better option. I know exactly squat about tires and load ranges ect.... What would be a good option to go with for replacements? Thanks in advance!

There's nothing better than Goodyear Endurance trailer tires. I bought mine on eBay for way less.

I also would look at the gy enduranceYou might think about the 215 size instead of the 205 size as it gives you a bit more weight capacity and isn’t any larger diameter so should fit fine. Though not knowing the weight of your trailer you may not need any additional weight capacity cushion

Dry weight is right at 5,000 and cargo capacity is right at 2,000.

Seen hundreds of blow outs Never seen a Maxxis or Hercules failure.

No need to ever mention dry weight as it is a meaningless number. Gross weight, or GVWR, is all that matters. Get tires that will handle your GVWR. In that vein, avoid any and all tires that are Made in China. They have a long history of failure, which WILL cause damage to your trailer. As others have said, go with the GY Endurance, which is made in America. Or go with a truck tire, which I don't think come in a 14.

Looking at new better tires, need advice. | Good Sam Community

Unless of course the trailer is messed up or hooked up improperly causing more wear on certain tires in which case rotating good tires Into the bad spot is a bandaid for the problem.

I disagree. With a double axle trailer one of the two axles will tend to skid the tires around sharper turns more than the other axle wearing that set out more. This will be very evident when backing into your driveway. Just the nature of the beast with fixed axles.

OP, there are a multitude of D load tires for your application. If you want better (extra capacity) you can do this. They don’t cost much more either.

I got my info from tire Rack as they have a nice screen that shows all the specs of the tire sizes in one screen it shows them to be the same diameter if that is wrong my apologies.

https://www.tirerack.com/tires/tires.jsp?tireMake=Goodyear&tireModel=Endurance

However, now after a quick check on Goodyears site Tire Rack does appear to be wrong. Goodyears site shows that there is in fact a difference as was stated after my post of 26.1 vs 26.7 diameter so my apologies for providing incorrect info. As for my trust in Tire Rack it has now wavered and in the future will verify with the manufacturers website in regards to tire info I glean from Tire Rack.

That being said I personally would still consider going up to that size depending on what my trailer weight was to gain a bit more tire capacity cushion if I thought it was needed but unknown without a trailer weight. That is if the 6/10's of an inch in diameter increase is still doable on the trailer

PS Don't remember who brought it up but whomever good catch on my mistake

I put bias ply Carlisle on my trailer it is about the same weight as yours. I get them rotated each year and have had no problems.

If you go with the GY Endurance, make sure your rims are rated for 65 psi. The 14” D tires have plenty of load capacity for a trailer of 7000 pounds gross.
The 205 will carry a bit over 2000 pounds each and the 215 about 200 pounds more each. Either will be adequate.
I have the 215/75/14’s on mine and have been very satisfied.

With hat said I would only consider the Carlisle HD tires.

I think there is something wrong with your calculator. A 215 75 r14 tire has a Diameter of 26.7 inches while a 205 75 r14 tire has a Diameter of 26.1 inches. Not a significant difference, but the 215 is a taller tire.

All other specs being the same, a 215 WILL be taller than a 205.
Not saying it won't fit, or that it's a bad idea.... Just that it WILL be taller

I'm looking also to change to a 215 overall diameter is 1/4" bigger with 14" rims

Ive been pleased with Maxxi tires and not pleased with Carlile blowouts.
