Hey Rob, it really comes down to what tire size you have now and just going with that size in a Load Range that has enough weight capacity for that or if you need to change sizes you can make a slight increase or decrease.

For example the Westlake ST225/75-15 # LHWL304 that you referenced when used on a triple axle trailer would have a weight capacity of 16,980 lbs.
