The best tire we have in the size of ST215/75-14 is going to be the Provider part # TTWTRTM2157514D which is a Load Range D with a weight capacity of 2,200 lb at 65 psi and a higher speed rating of 81 mph. This also has an automotive grade tread design which offers best traction in wet and dry conditions.
