Trailer Tire Size ST205/75R14 in Load Range D

Question:

I am thinking about upgrading my trailer tires from ST205/75R14LRC to a load range D.My Rims are rated for 1870 lbs current air pressure is 50PSI. Should I get new rims for a D rated tire 65PSI.

For a Load Range D trailer tire sized 205/75R14 we have the part # AM10235. It does need 65 psi in the tires at all times which shouldn't be a problem for your wheel at all. There's a slim chance your valve stem wouldn't be able to handle the pressure but most trailer tire valve stems should have no problem.

For example, our lowest rated valve stem part # AM20903 has a 65 psi limit. This fits through trailer wheel stem holes of .453 inch and part # AM20905 also is rated for 65 psi and is designed to fit a .625 inch diameter hole.
