Will the Goodyear Endurance ST205/75R15 Trailer Tire Work On Wheel With 50 PSI Rating

Question

Question:

My travel trailer wheels are rated for 50psi and has 205/75 15 c load tires. Goodyear endurance and Carsile tires are rated for d load at 65psi. I couldnt find c load in these . Am I correct in assuming I cant use d load on a wheel rated for 50psi?

In regards to trailer wheels, the psi limit is actually from the valve stem not the wheel itself. Therefore, you can use the Goodyear Endurance ST205/75R15 Radial Trailer part # 724861519 which is what I recommend if you change out the valve stem for the Americana Metal, Bolt-In Valve Stem part # AM20906.

Since wheels will be able to withstand the psi rating of any of the tires that are meant to fit it you will need to look at the valve stem as that is the deciding factor. If your valve stem has the rubber all the way up to the threads, like part…

The pilot hole on a wheel would have to be 4.75 inches or larger. It can be larger because this hub uses lug nuts to secure and center the wheel on the hub (lugcentric). If it just had holes for wheel bolts (hubcentric) then the pilot hole would have…

In order to determine the torque rating for the lug nuts on your trailer you will need to know check out the chart I attached that shows all of the torque specs for all the trailer lugs available based on stud size, wheel material and wheel size.

Answer 7

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…

Answer 9

The two sizes you mentioned are pretty similar and fit many of the same 15 inch wheels. The 205/75-15 fits rim widths of 5 inch to 6-1/2 inch whereas the 225/75-15 fits widths that are 5 inch to 6 inch. The 205 is 27.1 inches tall and the 225 is 28.4…

Answer 10

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…

Answer 11

The three most common lug stud sizes for a trailer are 1/2"-20, 9/16"-18, and 5/8"-18. In order to make sure you get the correct lug nuts you need to measure the lug studs on the trailer now as we have no way to look this up for…

Answer 12

The 12 inch tires that we carry are rated for 65 miles per hour. Any faster than that for extended periods and the excessive heat build up will cause tire failure. To get a tire with a higher speed rating you would have to go up in size. That also…
