Recommended Replacement Tires Size 175/80R13 for 1988 Jayco Eagle Popup Camper

Question:

I have a 1998 Jayco Eagle 12so popup camper, it requires load range C tires size 175 80r13. Is there any merit to upgrading to a load D tire and will my wheels handle the extra 15psi. I am mainly looking to upgrade for the L or M speed rating and that is easier to find in a D rated tire

For your ST175/80R13 Tires, the only load range D tire that fits your size is the Kenda Karrier ST175/80R13 Radial Trailer Tire - Load Range D # AM10210 which has a speed rating of the standard 65 mph max.

I recommend you go with the Load Range C that has more options. I have linked your options, but I recommend the Taskmaster Provider ST175/80R13 Radial Trailer Tire - Load Range C # TTWTRTM1758013C. This tire has a maximum load capacity of 1360 lbs at 50 psi and has a max speed of 81 mph (speed rating M). This tire has automotive-grade tread and sipes for better traction in wet conditions and also has a 2 year limited warranty.
