Replacement tires for RV trailers ARE NOT selected on the basis of the scaled load carried. They are selected on the basis of what the OE tires provided in load capacity. And, just like the automotive industry, they normally need to have vehicle manufacturer approval.


Verbatim from the Keystone owner's manual: "To maintain tire safety, purchase new tires that are the same size as the vehicle’s original tires or another size recommended by the manufacturer."


A standard from a respected trailer tire manufacturer, Maxxis.

"It is preferable to replace a trailer’s tires with ones that correspond to the manufacturer recommended specifications."


Remember, I post on how it's supposed to be done. The ultimate decision lies in the hands of the vehicle owner.
