Your trailer does not have "dual" wheels. It has "tandem" wheels. It is configured as a "single wheel application" they are 225 75R15 LRD, so they are rated for "single wheel application" (tandem axles) at 2540 per tire at 65PSI. Your tires are probably speed rated L (75MPH), but if there is no speed rating following the load rating, then they are rated at 65MPH.

LOL Just a few days ago I had a "bout of intracranial flatulence" over the "single/dual ratings" in this very same thread. As long as you "finally figure it out" all the rest is just "travel time"

John,
Right now I plan on taking the same route as you and going with the Carlisle load range E this fall. Will be watching the posts until then. Still trying to figure out that HD rating that Discount has.

I believe the Discount tire HD is going to be the same as the Radial Trail RH that John got. I insisted the dealer install the HD tires which I had talked to Discount tire about. The confusion came when the service manager at CW said he didn't need to get them from Discount tire; they had them at "their" warehouse? I did not get to clarify that as I came to FL and the service manager transferred to another store. Other than the HD on the tire those I have are branded identically to John's I believe (size/load/speed/etc) so I think Carlisle is just badging some RH trailer tires for Discount tire.

I sent Carlisle Tire an email this afternoon asking them specifically to explain the difference between the HD and the RH tire. Hopefully, we'll have the answer "right from the horse's mouth" in a couple of days. From what I can "best guess" the tire carcass is the same, the tread is slightly different. I don't know which is "best" and which is "newest", so with any luck, Carlisle will provide enough information so we can know what we're buying (or for some of us, what we bought) ...

John,
Have you heard anything yet? We will be interested on what they have to say. Thanks for taking the lead on this.

No, unfortunately, Carlisle has not responded to my email. I'll give them a couple more days and send it again. They have recently updated their website to include the HD tire in the trailer tires section. So, there is now "some" information on that tire as well as the RH.
From my "little experience vantage" it looks like the HD is the "updated" RH, as they say: "We have completely redesigned the industry-leading Radial TrailRH trailer tire for:
•Improved tread wear
•Greater heat resistance
•Increased durability"
As to which is "better/not better" ???

Thanks John,
Now, that the HD tire is listed on their website, it pretty much says it all. Interesting though how Discount Tire was selling it before it supposedly hit the regular market.

Well, I hope the HD's yield a good reputation. Maxxis doesn't have a LRF and Carlisle does, so that fact might be the convincing factor for my next ST tire decision...if I have 95 PSI wheels, that is.

This has been driving me nuts since you posted it: what brand was that tandem DUALLY 5th I saw last year in Tennessee??
We pull into Elkhart Campground yesterday and there is another one right out our window. Kountry Aire by Newmar.
