Need New Tire

[LadyRVer]

Need help on how to locate a tire for my fifth-wheel. I am 450 miles from home, pulled into a campground today and the right rear tire went either when I pulled in or driving through the cg to my site

I need a ST225/75R15 Load Range E. Load Range D's are plentiful fairly local, but E... can't find one.

Any suggestions? I am in Pine Mountain, GA, between Columbus and LaGrange.

The spare I have is a Load Range D, I kept it from when I purchased these 4 new tires 2 years this month. Tire dealer said not to use for many miles, just a short ride for an emergency spare, due to different sizes. Don't want to start home until I have an E. In fact, if I can fine one, will buy 2 and just throw one in back of truck. TIA.

That is great, but how was the turkey?

Good to read a thread like this with folks giving out some very useful information and things working out well. Way to go and happy holidays. 🙂

A heck of a lot better reading than pages and pages of folks just whining about something that displeases them.

Update. thanks to all who gave me information. I did try the WalMart in LaGrange before posting. Person who answered said they did not have load range E.

With everyone's help, I was able to locate TWO tires, the exact size I needed this morning, in Manchester, GA about 20 miles away. One is mounted, ready to put on trailer and the other is a tire by itself, but if I have another blowout going home, at least I will have a spare. So, thanks EVERYONE.

I kept the blownout tire and taking it back to hometown dealer. The mfg date was 4215 and installed on Dec. 9, 2015. Today's dealer said he could no reason for it. So, I will tote it home and hope an adjustment can be made.

Most important thing is I have a tire, correct size, to start back 450 miles.

Y'all have a Merry Christmas.

Just a heads up. Some Walmarts will not mount a tire on rv trailer rims. Not all but some, my Cousin is a service writer at one that policy is no tires for rv's.

Most tire dealers can get the size you need next day from the warehouse.
I recommend Goodyear Endurance from Discount tire. Only "E" is made in this tire line and size.

That was my thought local Wallys got them, normally Good Years.

Thanks to both of you...appreciate the responses and ideas. Starting to call now.

Always use the same size...... load range (pressures)...and tread design tire on the same axle. That way you get the same braking performance especially on wet pavement under emergency stops.
Goodyear has the new ST endurance.
Carlisle the new HD
Provider doing great since the '10 era
All are the new gen 75-81 mph speed rated tire with the nylon cap under the tread which is more about helping with heat generated from normal highway speed rather than how fast we drive..
