Another popular 14" choice is the commercial grade Maxxis U-168 LT. Bigger 15" tires take more room between the tires/sides and on top but will give you a few more options.

I think those Maxxis are 1" larger in dia than the normal ST205R75X14 and 1/2 at the larger 14" sizes so make sure they will fit and allow the proper clearances for your particular axle type and configuration.

Also, I might have missed it, but those are not listed specifically for trailers like the KUMHO 857s are.

I guess we could bring "we can't use a LT tire on a trailer "******that other folks recommend just because of what ever reason or agenda you have. Why go there as the subject has been beat to death.
The BFG Commercial T/A aren't listed specifically for trailers either but thousands of trailer owners find they make a excellent upgrade option from a OEM ST tire.

My Maxxis dealer recommends the the U-168 LT to his customers for their trailers especially guys that are on the road.

I only made the observation based on what I could document. I do not think dealers sort of like TT salesmen are the most reliable source of good information and their is no way to verify what any particular dealer might say unless that dealer personally posts their recommendations so you might not think one has to mention this or that, but that is only your opinion which I don't share in this case. If a reader wants to ignore what the tire manufacturer says for their particular tire then that's their decision.

Notice I never said not to use them in case you think I did.
