Availability of ST205/75R14 Load Range E Replacement Tires

Question:

Im looking for E or G ply tires for my Keystone 240URS. Currently have ST 205/75R14 that came on it.. I plan on doing quite a bit more traveling now due to my job. I understand the E or G ply are probably overkill.. Im wanting to reduce any issues that could arise.

The main advantage you get from switching to a higher load range on your trailer tires is an increased weight capacity. As long as the capacity of the tires are adequate for the weight of your trailer, you won't really gain much by switching to a higher load range. It is possible the tires would run slightly cooler if overrated, but even load range D tires would be overrated for your trailer.

Although we do not have any 205/75-14 tires with an E load range, we do have the Karrier ST205/75R14 Radial Trailer Tire - Load Range D # AM10235. These tires have a maximum load of 2,200 lbs at 75 psi so they will are capable of holding 1,000 lbs more than the GVWR of your trailer. These come with a 5-year limited warranty and a 1-year worry-free guarantee. If within the first 12 months the tire is damaged in any way, it will be replaced at no charge.
