trailertraveler Posted February 16, 2015 Report Share Posted February 16, 2015 Rims rated for these tires are available or they would never sell these tires. No, I've never owned a trailer with 14" or 15" tires. I' much rather have "overkill" tires than "underkill' tires. I posted the link for informational purposes only. 15" rims are available with bolt patterns for 14" hubs too. Thanks for the response. I know there are rims that the tires will fit on. I know there are 15" rims with the same bolt pattern as 14" rims, but you didn't really answer my question has to whether rims suitable for the F & G rated tires, i.e. 7.5 to 10" wide rims are available in a 6 bolt pattern. I did some searching and the wide rims witth a 6 bolt pattern that I could find looked like they were for passenger or maybe race cars and did not give any indication of a pressure rating that would make them suitable for 80-110psi applications. I couldn't find the dimensions of the tires you linked to but as I recall the last time this came up, the 15" F,G, & H tires that are actually intended for use on lowboy trailers were something like 29+ inches in diameter. I suppose one could try to enlarge the wheel wells or jack the trailer up off the axles like a monster truck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FastEagle Posted February 16, 2015 Report Share Posted February 16, 2015 Carlisle Tires have some new sizes in their Sport Trail LH bias ply trailer tires. A 14.5” LRF and a 16” LRE. Usually LRD is the highest load range for bias ply trailer tires. Here is the reference.http://www.carlisletransportationproducts.com/product/tires/trailers-toy-haulers-towables/sport-trail-lhFastEagle Everest 363K 38'Dodge DRW 3500 Turbo DieselUSN Retired - DOD Retired Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trailertraveler Posted February 17, 2015 Report Share Posted February 17, 2015 ...Carlisle Tires have some new sizes in their Sport Trail LH bias ply trailer tires. A 14.5” LRF ... Thanks for the link. The 14.5" looks like it may be a pretty good alternative for those with 14" OEM rims as it is a little smaller in diameter than most of the 15" and at 2830# has the same capacity as the 15" E rated tires. Down side for some (especially the only use LT crowd) may be that not only are they ST tires, but OMG bias ply to boot. I think their reaction may be like the famous line often repeated by Fred Sanford "This is the big one." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trailertraveler Posted February 18, 2015 Report Share Posted February 18, 2015 Yarome, If you have not purchased your tires and are still looking. I may have found a couple other possibilities for you. The Hankook RA08 is available in a 195R14, diameter is 26.3", 2094# Max @ 65psi, speed rating R(99MPH). The Maxxis UE-168 is available in three 14" sizes with ratings from 1874-2270#. As an aside, If you search some of the other RV forums that have more travel trailer owners, you will find pages of discussion of 14" trailer tires.

mocroc Posted February 18, 2015 Report Share Posted February 18, 2015 These are the 14" tires I am running on my dual axle car trailer. Kumho Radial 857 with 2271 lbs load with a Q speed rating (99 mph). VERY very happy with them. Was also going to change to 15s until I found this tire. http://www.tirerack.com/tires/tires.jsp?tireMake=Kumho&tireModel=Radial+857&sidewall=Blackwall&partnum=0R4857&tab=Specs Purchased them at Discount Tire. rocmoc n AZ/Mexico Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
