Helpful Expert Reply:

The tires you have on your trailer currently measure approximately 27.39 inches diameter. That is for a tire that is 225/70R15.

You will have no problem using your wheels with 225/75R15 tires. When mounted on your wheels, tires like the Karrier ST225/75R15 Radial Trailer Tire, part # AM10251 would work fine for you. The overall diameter of this tire on your wheel would be 28.4 inches, which is about 1 inch difference from the tires you have currently. These are load range C 6-ply radial tires and have a maximum load capacity of 2,150 lbs at 50 psi.
