Would you swap 205s for 215s ?
Hello, I've just bought a "new to me" used 2017 camper. The tires are year old Rainier ST (205/75r14). On my old camper I am about to sell, I put new tires on it last year Hercules Power STR (215/75r1...

Possible fitment issues aside, always go for tires with a higher load capacity rating. Higher reserve load capacity will reduce the risk of a blowout due to a reduction in internal heat buildup (heat is what kills ST tires).
I'd suggest the Endurance tires also. Load/inflation info. here.They have a higher load rating for the same load rating designation and also a higher sidewall max. psi rating. The 205 and 215 widths are both LRD. Both are rated 65 psi. The 205/14 is rated for 2040 lbs and the 215/14 is 2200 lbs (at 65 psi). If you don't know the max ratings of your rims, you could run the tires at 50 psi and get the LRC load capacity rating that you'd have now.
IMO, wider tires and higher pressure will give you better handling for sway and twisty roads at speed.
