Increasing Tire Load Bearing For 15" Wheels
Question:
Hello, I am looking to upgrade my 225/75/R15 tires to load range G. What are the max weight rating and max air PSI of a 15x6 wheel on 6 lugs?

Expert Reply:
It sounds like you want to make sure the trailer tires you're using are able to support the most amount of weight your axles and wheels will allow. My best recommendation for that is the Karrier ST225/75R15 - 6 on 5-1/2" - Load Range E # AM32680 tire. It has a 10-ply rating and will support weights up to 2,830 lbs. at a maximum 80 PSI.
Maximum weight ratings and maximum PSI can differ from wheel to wheel and tire to tire, even when you're looking at specific measurements such as only 15" wheels with 6 on 5.5" bolt patterns. No matter which tire or wheel you go with, if the listed maximum weight/PSI are different, you'll be limited to whichever is the lowest rated component
