Question:

Hi, Just wondering if the rim description is a typo, or... Rim Capacity: 2,050 lbs. Since you are combining it with a load range D tire, 2540 lbs. Thanks

The Karrier ST225/75R15 Radial Tire with 15" White Spoke Wheel part # AM32545 that you referenced comes with a tire that has a 2,540 lb weight capacity and a wheel that has a 2,150 lb weight capacity. This is not uncommon however, generally speaking the wheel has a weight capacity higher than that of the tire but that is not the case for this particular combination. With that being said, the lower of the two (tire/wheel) will always need to be the figure you abide by. Therefore, the weight capacity of the Karrier ST225/75R15 Radial Tire with 15" White Spoke Wheel is 2,150 lbs.

Your math is correct in your trailer weight load example. If a fully-loaded tandem axle trailer weighs 4000-lbs then each of the 4 tires will bear 1/4th of that load, or 1000-lbs. In this case a tire rated for 1300-lbs would provide a good safety…
