Location: Littlle Rock | Hello- I need some advice on trailer tires. I have a 4 Star, goose neck 2 horse with LQ and I mainly pull one horse. I bought the trailer used from a friend and the trailer came with ST 225/75r15 tires. The plate one the trailer recommends 235/75r15c's. The tires are a little worn and I have had a few problems, so I am going to buy a new set of tires. Should I buy what 4 Star recommends or go with what was on the trailer? Any help or advice would be appreciated. Also, the GVWR is 8400 and the GAWR is 3500.Thanks- |

Location: Rocky Mount N.C. | You could do a ST225-75R15 load range D... That would have more capacity that the 235 C.... Keep the trailer a little lower also... Same size that's on the trailer now in a load range "D".. Load rating of 2540# at 65 psi.. I got a set on a two horse BP and they are holding up quite well. http://www.goodyearrvtires.com/tire-selector.aspx http://www.tirerack.com/tires/tires.jsp?tireMake=Goodyear&tireModel=Marathon+Radial&partnum=275R5MAR8V2
