I see that you are looking at the Westlake # LHAW124 ST225/75R15 Trailer Tire w/ Load Range E (2830 pounds maximum capacity) and would like to know if this tire is available with a higher load rating.

Load Range E is the highest load rating for 225/75-15 tires. The # LHAW124 would actually be my recommendation for you.

To keep those tires looking new and avoiding the aging affects of UV radiation you may want to consider the Adco Ultra Tyre Gard Covers # 290-3953. For many campers age and sun damage ruin a tire before miles on the road.

I have included links to product pages and video tire reviews.

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…

Answer 12

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…
