Well wheel diameter means nothing. If you have 14" tires, you also have 14" wheels. The letters "ST" means "standard trailer" and the "R" means "radial" (type of tire is radial) The big difference between a passenger car, light truck, or trailer tire is speed rating and sidewall strentgh.
Trailer tires have very few choices, and most are Chinese made. Having said that. I do kinda like Kumho. I am a Goodyear "Marathon" dealer. We have seen many "blown out" Maxxis tires
rbpru, thanks.
chevyman2,
Are ST's stronger or weaker than passenger car or light truck? Can I assume that ST's are the appropriate rating for trailer tires?
I keep seeing st205/75r14 when I try to look up st205/70r14. Is the 70 not readily available anymore?
Someone suggested going with 215 instead of 205, what difference does that make?
