You will need a 15" tire to fit the Dexstar Spoke Tri-Oval 15" Trailer Wheel. We have both 205/75-15 and 225/75-15 tires that fit this wheel. If you have existing tires already and are replacing them, I recommend using the same size. Otherwise, the best tire would be one that has enough clearance and has a high enough capacity for your trailer.

The Karrier ST205/75R15 Radial Trailer Tire - Load Range D # AM10245 would be one possible option. This tire has a section width of 8.1" and an outer diameter of 27.3". The maximum load is 2,150 lbs at 65 psi and it has a speed rating of M for 81 mph.

The larger option would be a tire like the Karrier ST225/75R15 Radial Trailer Tire - Load Range E # AM10303. This tire has a section width of 8.9" and an outer diameter of 28.4". The max load is 2,830 lbs at 80 psi and it is also rated for 81 mph. Both of these tires have 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.

I recommend measuring before choosing one of these tires. You will want at least 3" of clearance on top of the tire and 2" of clearance on the inside. If both will fit then ultimately that is up to you.

I have attached some review videos along with a helpful article on trailer tires for your reference.
