Comparing ST205/75R14 Tires Between Load Range C and Load Range D  

The best ST205/75R14 tire we have on offer will be the Westlake ST205/75R14 Radial Trailer Tire - Load Range D #274-000012. This is rated up to 2,040 pounds at 65 psi and has an L speed rating, or 75 miles per hour. It also has a 5-Year warranty…

Our selection of trailer tires in the 205/75-14 size with a D load range is limited to Kenda Karrie and Westlake. These both are considered higher quality radial options but the best one for your application will come down to your particular speed…

As long as the bolt pattern is the same and you have enough room all around the existing tires for the larger size then yes, you can go to a 15 inch wheel and tire. There are a couple other things you will want to look at though. If the wheels attach…

The biggest advantage and reason most people go with a larger trailer tire is the increased weight capacity that the larger tires offer. The larger diameter offers a negligible amount of better ride quality for the trailer since the larger the tire…

Though we definitely have a 13" white spoke wheel with the 4 on 4 bolt pattern and an ST175/80R13 Load Range D Radial tire (both listed below), we do not have a way to mount them together as of yet. Dexstar Steel Spoke Trailer Wheel - 13" x…

An ST205/75R14 tire with a load range D would generally have a maximum weight capacity of 2,100-lbs at 65 psi. For example, the Karrier Radial Trailer Tire, Item #AM10235, has a maximum load capacity of 2,040-lbs at 65 psi. Each tire can have a…

Long story short, yes you can. But going with the ST205/75R14 would be a better replacement than a ST205/75D14 because the R in the first size means it is a radial tire whereas the D in the second size means it is a bias ply. The main difference…

What you have is an 86" long axle with a 4,400 lb capacity. Since 4,400 lb axles are no longer being produced, you will need an axle with a higher capacity for a replacement. I recommend the Trailer Axle Beam with Easy Grease Spindles #e45GR.…

The R and the D in a trailer tire size stand for radial and bias-ply. A radial tire flexes more than a bias tire, giving it better ground contact, traction, stability, and tread wear. A radial tire will normally run cooler than a bias ply tire,…

You always want to run trailer tires at their max psi. Not only does that ensure that you get the full weight capacity, but it also prevents the tire from building too much heat which would cause the tire to fail. A better option for you would be to…

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…

The difference between an load range C and load range D tire in the same size is the capacity and psi rating. The two tires will still have the same dimensions and fit on the same wheel. The D rated tire has a higher capacity. For a ST175/80D13 like…
