Is it Okay to Switch from 205/75-14 to 215/75-14 Tires on Travel Trailer

Question:

Can I replace the factory 205/75r14 with a 215/75r14 on a 2005 fleetwood Newport. Thank you

The 215/75-14 tire is about a half inch taller and a bit less than half an inch wider than your existing tires. As long as you'll have 3 inches of clearance to the underside of the fender or wheel well by adding a 1/2 an inch of height to your existing tire, there's no reason why would couldn't switch to the slightly larger tire.

The Kenda Karrier # AM10235 would be a great choice for a 205/75R14, it is load range D. If you upgrade to a 215/75R14, we have the Taskmaster Provider # TTWTRTM2157514D, which is also a load range D.

I've linked you to our trailer wheel/tire help articles that contain more information about trailer tires than you could shake a stick at.
