A lot has happened in the tire industry since your trailer was fitted with it’s original tire & wheel assemblies. Probably the best thing to do is a complete assembly change for all wheel positions. Any of the ST225/75R15 LRE tires will provide the load capacity you seek. There are numerous manufacturers to chose from with GY being the only USA manufacturer and they will be the most expensive. However, there is a new all steel 15” trailer tire available. Greenball is providing them and their brand name is Tow Master. They are ST225/75R15 LRF. Click Here! Thanx, will check them out.518Views0likes0CommentsRe: Fifth Wheel tires
xtech wrote: Hello, I am a fellow Albertan. Just put my third set of Road Rider ST tires on. Have had no problem and tow many miles, down to Arizona in winter and around Canada summer. Road Riders are from China but are recommended over even the new made in USA goodyear. Go to fountain Tire, they handle them. They come in your size in Load Range D or E. I just put on 4 E range, $119.00 Canadian each. D range good for approx. 2500 lbs each and E for 2800 each so D would work for you. Talk to Fountain Tire they sell lots and recommend them. Sounds good. Thank you. I will definitely pass this on to my husband.518Views0likes0CommentsRe: Fifth Wheel tires

Have been running on P22575r15 load range D but have 2 blow outs in the last 2 times I have been out. I am looking for a good tire not from China if possible. I recommend Goodyear Endurance inflated to 80 psi. New design and made in USA. Thank You. We will look into it. We live in Canada so hopefully we will find someone who carries them.

JIMNLIN So here's the thing. I am the wife and supposedly the computer literate one. It was recommended I sign up with RV.net as there was a wealth of information here. My husband is the driver & maintenance guy. I am still trying to find my way around the forums, don't know How to reply directly, yadda, yadda. Thank you to those who have tried to be helpful, JIMNLIN, we will look for the brand's you recommended. MFL you were right, I misunderstood, it is an ST not PT BB_TX Thank you for your info.280Views0likes0CommentsRe: Fifth Wheel tires
