If I could buy a 225 75 15" LR E LT tire I would have them on my trailer.
By the way, notice the blown truck tires on any highway. I've been told if there is steel showing, it was a new tire, not a retread. Basic cause, heat buildup due to low air.
Had to buy rims and 6 lug drums on the first one. The second TT already had 6 lug rims, so I just swapped the 16s over to it.
