Recommended Best Load Capacity for 7x15 Tire Replacements and Spare
Question:
We have an old hay wagon, with BlueStar 7x15 tires. The wheels are 6 hole, 4.27inch hub 5.5inch between mounting holes. What is the highest weigh rated tire we can get for this? Would need a spare with a rim.

Expert Reply:
We no longer carry the 7.00-15 LT and it was not the best or only option for your current wheels.
For the best tire for your wheels, I recommend the Westlake ST225/75R15 Radial Trailer Tire # LHWL304. This tire is rated for 2,860 lbs at 80 psi. This tire has a 5 year warranty. You can have this mounted on any 15" wheel that matches your bolt pattern of 6 on 5-1/2 at a local shop. The wheel that you use needs to be either 15" x 5" or 15" x 6".
If you need to purchase a wheel, I recommend the # AM20552 for a white mini mod style or the # AM20539 if you prefer silver.
The ST225/75R15 tire is a full inch smaller in diameter than the 7.00-15LT tires, so I don't recommend interchanging sizes even for a spare. You want them all to be identical tires.
