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 vs load rating needs.

The Kenda Karrier # AM32161 (on steel wheel) or # AM34659 (on aluminum wheel) has a higher maximum load rating of 2,200 lbs at 75 psi, it has a higher speed rating (M) with a maximum speed of 81 mph.. As far as the warranty is concerned, for the first 12 months from the date of purchase, Kenda will replace your tire for any reason and on top of that it's covered against any manufacturing defects for the first 5 years.

Then the Westlake 205/75-14 tires, Item # 274-000012, have a 2,040 lbs at 65 psi and have a max speed rating of 75 mph (speed rating L) but also offers a great 5-Year warranty on tire (1-year on wheel) which includes a complimentary 2 year road side assistance. Westlake does offer a much larger selection of wheel options mounted on this tire, which I'll link at the bottom of the page for you.
