For your 2018 Keystone Hideout that has the tire size of 225/75D15 basically any tire and wheel in this size with the correct bolt pattern of 6 on 5-1/2 inch and you'd be set.

Our most popular option is the Westlake part # LHWL304 but I attached a link that shows all options we have that would fit.

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…
