Travel Trailer Tires

I have a 1 yr old 26' travel trailer with 75 R14's (dual axel). They seem small (and low end). I want to upgrade to R15's. What is considered the best travel trailer tire?

An unnecessary expense as you'd have to replace the wheels as well ... your current ST205/75R14 offshore tires are almost certainly load range C. If you want to replace them with a better tire simply invest in a set of US manufactured Goodyear Endurance ST205/75R14 which are load range D, just as an increasing number of us have done. :B Just because a tire is bigger doesn't mean it's better or necessarily provide any more protection against blowouts. ;)

If the cost of this premium tire is an issue then you could alternately go with a set of Carlisle HD tires but the reason they're less costly is they're manufactured in China whereas the GY Endurance is manufactured in the US. In the ST205/75R14 size the Carlisle is available in both load range C and load range D so you want to make sure you bought the latter. Just be aware also that the Carlisle's sidewall isn't anywhere near as stiff as the Goodyear's and not nearly as resistant to scuffs & punctures.
