Would a 225/75R15 Be Better Than 235/75R15 Off Road Tires On 2017 Jayco Jay Flight 195RB Baja?

Question:

I have a 2017 Jayco Jay Baja 195RB GVRW 3700 lbs, sticker on trailer says LT 235 75 15. Wouldnt I be better off using a dedicated trailer tire such as an st 225 75 15 ?

You could go down to a Karrier ST225/75R15 Radial Trailer Tire # AM10303 rather than a 235/75R15 # KE68JR on your 2017 Jayco Jay Flight 195RB Baja. Do understand the 225 is just slightly narrower(10mm) and shorter(25mm) so it will slightly lower your trailer height and the wheels are going to turn more revolutions which typically means more heat and wear. The biggest benefit you may notice is the smaller tires have a narrower tread so they will be quieter at highway speeds.
