Hey Joe!

According to my research your 2017 Forest River Wild Wood 171RBXL travel Trailer has a 14" wheel size from the factory. I don't have the exact tire size but knowing the 14" size means your trailer should have either 205/75-14 or 215/75-14 tires on it.

For your application I recommend going with the Kenda Karrier ST205/75R14 Radial Trailer Tire with 14" Black Mod Wheel - 5 on 4-1/2 # AM32131 rated at 1,925 lbs at 60 psi (3,850 lbs per axle) because it has a clean-looking black wheel and a max speed rating of 81 mph.

I've attached a review video of this kit for your reference.

The tire diameter of this Kenda Wheel & Tire #AM32131 is 26.3 inches when inflated. If that's larger than the diameter you have on your trailer now, then yes it will provide a lift on your trailer. However smaller the diameter of your…

If the tire sidewall says 50 psi is the max cold rating then I definitely would avoid filling it up to 60 psi as that will surely cause a blowout once you get going down the road. What you need is a trailer tire that can handle a higher weight…

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…

Answer 5

The 5.30-12 tires, being wider, are going to make more contact with the road. This means that the noise, and heat build up will be higher than a 4.80-12 tire but the rolling resistance will actually be less because the tire is larger diameter. The…

Answer 6

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…

Answer 7

Since both a ST145/R12 size tire, like the Kenda Karrier S-Trail #AM10130, and a 5.30-12 size tire, like the Kenda K353 #AM10068, fit a 12 inch wheel, a ST145/R12 size tire can replace a 5.30-12 size tire. Keep in mind that these tires do have…

Answer 8

The difference between load ranges varies based on the tire size and brand. When comparing two tires of the same size and brand, a load range D tire will always have a greater weight capacity and psi rating than a load range C. However, when…

Answer 9

The 12 inch tires that we carry are rated for 65 miles per hour. Any faster than that for extended periods and the excessive heat build up will cause tire failure. To get a tire with a higher speed rating you would have to go up in size. That also…

Answer 10

The two sizes you mentioned are pretty similar and fit many of the same 15 inch wheels. The 205/75-15 fits rim widths of 5 inch to 6-1/2 inch whereas the 225/75-15 fits widths that are 5 inch to 6 inch. The 205 is 27.1 inches tall and the 225 is 28.4…

Answer 11

The three most common lug stud sizes for a trailer are 1/2"-20, 9/16"-18, and 5/8"-18. In order to make sure you get the correct lug nuts you need to measure the lug studs on the trailer now as we have no way to look this up for…

Good morning, Cliff. As of today (3/27/24) we are expecting the #KE33JR tire/wheel combo to be in stock in about 2 weeks. Hopefully this means we can take our own pictures and put them on the site within maybe about 3-4 weeks from now. What I can…
