225/75-15 Trailer Tire Recommendation with 10 Ply and Load Range E

Question:

Please ignore my my other post. I am wanting to go to a 10 ply E tire on my fifth wheel. The gvw is 9900 lbs. Inside the wheel it says Max load 2600 lbs. Axles are rated at 4500lbs The tires are ST225 75R15 8 ply D. Can I go with a 10 ply E . Thanks The tires were made in 2012 and are original.

Yes you can go with a 10 Ply Load Range E tire for your trailer in the size of 225/75-15. For that we have the part # TR225LRE which has a weight capacity of 2,830-lb max load at 80 psi.

What I also really like about this tire is that it has a higher than normal speed rating at 81 mph as opposed to most trailer tires that are only rated to 65 mph.
