Trailer Tire Recommendation for 3,500 lb Axles in Size 205/75-14
Question:
We purchased a new trailer in 2014, with only 7000 miles on the tires we had a blow out and another is bulging in the tread area. We have a double axle trailer 4 tires the current size is ST205/75R14C, not sure but I think they are 4 ply. I cant fit a larger tire size on the unit, what is your reccomendation for a set of tires that are the best for strength and long lasting at this size? The sticker on the trailer says 3,500 lbs per axle 7,000 total GVW. Someone suggested a Vanguard 6ply tire but for some reason that doesnt sound strong enough.

I really like the Westlake radial trailer tires as our customers really like them, they are well-constructed and they have higher speed ratings of 75 mph compared to most trailer tires that are only rated for 65.
In your tire size of 205/75-14 I highly recommend the # 274-000012 for the reasons I mentioned. They're rated higher thn youi need but they're great tires.
