We offer four trailer tires in your required 205/75R15 size and all can be seen on the link provided. The highest-rated tire is part # AM10245 which is a radial tire in Load Range D. This tire is rated for a maximum load of 2,150-lbs at its specified 65-psi inflation pressure.

If you prefer a pre-mounted tire/wheel combination you can use the other link provided to select your required bolt pattern and tire type preference. Please note that pre-mounted tires/wheels are available only up to Load Range C.

Please note that trailer tires should always be inflated to their maximum rated psi as indicated on the tire's sidewall. Also keep in mind that unless your axles and hubs are rated highly enough to make use of the higher-rated tires you will not be increasing your trailer capacity.

I currently have a 205/75R15 on my tiny house low load capacity and I need to replace them with a heavy duty tire with more load capacity preferably at least 3500 per tire so I can transport it. Can I go with 235/80R16? If not what would you recommend?

Making that big of a jump in size would likely also require new hub assemblies and possibly a new axle, as the bolt patterns change with these larger wheels as well. You're also looking at close to a 4" height/diameter increase. This is basically to say that it's certainly possible, but you'll likely need to make some modifications elsewhere on the tiny house to accommodate them. If you need to get up to 3,500 pounds per tire though, there's not really another option. If you can tell me some information on your hubs (axle capacity, inner/outer bearings used) I will be happy to make some additional recommendations.

Answer 1

A higher load range tire has a higher ply rating but it will also produce a rougher ride and could have a psi rating that exceeds the capacity of the wheel or, more likely, the valve stem. The size you have now, 225/75-15 load range C, is rated for…

Kenda does make whitewall tires in your size, but we do not have any whitewall options. My recommendation is to use regular black tires and then get the white wall overlay. We don't carry that overlay, but they are easy to get and a fraction of…

The reason that you cannot find a list of all load ranges and the weight capacity for each in regards to trailer tires is because it will be different for each size. For example, a 205/75-15 tire like part #AM10245 which has a load range D rating is…

Unless otherwise noted all trailer tires are rated for 65 miles per hour as the max speed. Exceeding this figure will cause heat to build up and the tire will fail. It's also important to inflate the tire to it's max psi rating to get the…

We don't currently carry Dynatrail tires so I wasn't able to track down the speed rating on a 205/75R15 unit. There should hopefully be a speed rating listed on the tire's sidewall - most likely with a letter designation. If you don't…

When measuring an axle to determine the weight capacity you'll want to measure along the actual axle tube. Anywhere between the spring seats will work fine. I also recommend measuring with a digital caliper like #PTW80157 to get an accurate…

Load range will be different based on the size of your tire, so there isn't a specific load range I can offer, but assuming a trailer with that amount of weight on it has a double axle I can give you some examples. If you had a double axle…
