Taskmaster Tire Recommendation to Replace a 215/75R14

Question:

I am looking for a pair of 215/75R14 tires for a boat trailer 2900 GVW. I want a D rated tire to replace the existing C rated tires. fully loaded Skeeter SL190 is 2516 lbs - tires on trailer since new in 2010 What is the difference between the Taskmaster on your website and the Taskmaster Provider other than the D vs C rating. Are they from the same company? I see all glowing reviews on your site about the tires but with few exceptions the raves are about your service, which I already know is exceptional. Do you get complaints in quantity about premature failures, blowouts, bubbles, checking of the Taskmaster tires? Thanks -

Taskmaster tires are great trailer tires in general. Our customers really like them from the reviews they have left, but what I really like is the higher speed rating they have. Most trailer tires are only designed for a max speed of 65 mph whereas the Taskmaster tires are rated at 81 mph which is more reasonable for highway travel.

The # TTWTRTM2157514D would be a great option for the tire size you need as it has a capacity of 2,200 lbs at 65 psi per tire. You would need to ensure you keep the max tire pressure in this tire to ensure you have the full capacity of it.

The difference between this tire and the part # TTWTR21514 is basically just the Load Range. This is a LR C which has a 1,870-lb max load at 50 psi.
