FYI ..... ALL ST trailer tires are only rated for 65mph MAX.

See if you can get that size in Maxxis. They make ST225/75/15 in 8ply and 10 ply depending in what your rims are rated for. BUT .... again ALL ST tires are rated for 65mph max.

Duplicate post!

You've asked this same question elsewhere on here and have a few replies. Now, we are looking at a different set of replies and there are too many to delete the thread.
I am going to go back to your first post in the Toy Hauler section which has the fewest replies and delete the thread that you started there.

Sorry festus new to forum.
Ks is long way average speed limit is 70+ mph guess I need to slow Down.
I'm not sure the size of wheels on this model raptor 3712??
Do y'all think a 10ply would hold up in extreme heat and conditions??
Was thinking going with 12 ply but have to change wheels more than likely from what I read on here.
Anyone have any ideas on which would be best?
Would like a set of tires "6" for 1k or less but would spend more if that much better and y'all think I need wheels too.??

What's good wheel for the money that's looks half way decent?? Trying to figure price on set of wheels and sailun tires for raptor 3712. Seems like a bit of over kill but I don't want any trouble on the Rd.

If you where getting new wheels would you go ahead and get 17.5 or 16???
Whats width of wheel for sailun tires also?
Searching web I really couldn't find best prices or free shipping besides eBay but that's included on tire price I'm sure.

X2 - Toyhauler loaded with toys traveling 75MPH is just plain scary. The more your truck & trailer weigh, and the faster you go, the more kinetic energy. I'm a former over-the-road trucker and I wouldn't think of driving that fast. Slow down and live to get there. Sorry...I feel better now

Just my opinion: changing wheels isn't really necessary, just a good set of tires. What constitutes good? General consensus here is Maxxis, but I can't say I've had bad luck with the tires that came on my trailers.

You may not have enough clearance to increase tire size and section width. Measure all spacings you have now at all 6 tire positions and compare to new tire sizes and rim offset before buying. If you intend to carry a spare it should be the same size and rating as the rest. JM2˘, Hank

Thanks chuckster I'm undecided about it so that helps. Maybe a good set of 10ply will do the job.

You will be very lucky to get any ST tires to last beyond 2 years at your normal highway traveling speeds. You really need to consider tires that are rated by their manufacturer for speeds of 75 MPH or better.

You don’t have to go to “over kill” rim & tire assemblies. Many of the popular truck tire manufacturers build 17.5” tires suitable for trailer axles in LRF with load capacities of 3530# at 100 psi. Here is an example of such a tire - just one of many.

Does anyone know anybody with raptor that's running the sailun tires 16inch??
I followed a lead to trailer tires and wheels talked to Michael he says they should fit.
Would like to hear someone say they have these on raptor 3712 triple axle

tnraptor -
Perhaps someone who does have 16" Sailun tires on a triple axle Raptor 3712 will respond to your request. Until then, you'll just have to wait for a response to this post.
