For a load range D tire without the wheel, I recommend the Taskmaster Provider, ST205/75R15 Radial, Item # TR20515D.

If you want to go up to a Load Range E you would have to switch to the Kenda brand, Karrier ST225/75R15 Radial Trailer, part # AM10303. The 225/75-15 tire when compared to a 205/75-15 will be around 1/2" taller and 2/5" wider so you will need to make sure you have this much space available.

The F78-15 tire size you have is basically the exact same as the 205/75-15 tire size. The tire I would recommend to replace yours would be the #TTWTRTM2057515C because it is a radial tire which is preferred over bias-ply and because it has a higher…

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…

Load range B trailer tires are going to have a lower capacity than C load range tires. Basically that, psi rating, and the ply rating are the only differences. A higher load range tire would last a little longer than lower load ranges of the same…
