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?
Moving up to a 15" wheel is a great upgrade on a trailer. This allows the use of a LT tire. You can expect 7-9 years and 45k-50k plus trouble free miles for those that see a lot of miles per year.
Many usa tire mfg has a LT235/75-15 C at 1980 lbs capacity.
A other experienced members posted Goodyear Wrangler HT in a LT215/85-15 D at 2090 lbs capacity make a great tire for trailer use.
Looking around the net at all the different non rv trailering forums the Providers ST class tires from Taskmaster stands out for service trailers of all sizes. They're the new gen higher speed rated ST tires and have been on the market for over 10 years now. Their also OEM on certain brand larger model 5th wheel trailers now.
For most rv trailer owners the Carlisle HD and Goodyears Endurance are popular on rv websites with TT owners. Both are new and came out around Jan, 2017. After 4-5 years of service and hopefully 25k-28k miles can be expected with only 8/32nd of tread depth. So far no usual ST tire issues with either.
Looks all three brands above are winners without the usual ST issues.
I frequent several rv and non rv forums where some type of trailers are used. My recommendations come from those many websites and not just a couple of rv trailer forums.
