Goodyear Endurance Load Range D tires on stock wheels

Just recently acquired a 2011 Bullet Premier 27RBPR. I am replacing the current 2015 Load Range C tires and am curious if the stock aluminum wheels are good to go with Goodyear Endurance Load Range D tires. Anybody have any insight on this? Thanks.

Look at the back of the wheels and see what they are rated for. What size are the tires/wheels?

Can't get to the trailer at this moment, but original tires are 205/75 R14C and new tires would be 205/75 R14D1.

Both size tires are same rim size. Check max inflation psi on the current tires and the max inflation psi of the D rated tires. They should be the same. I'm GUESSING they are 65 psi. If the D rated tire inflation is higher than the C rated tire then look at the back of the trailer rim as has been suggested. The max PSI of the rim will be stamped on the back side along with the maximum weight rating. Depending on rim you may have to remove it from the axle hub to see it.

Most if not all 14" aluminum wheels I'm seeing on various sites show to be 5 lug wheels and maximum 60 psi rated, so even if your original wheels are only rated 60 psi, it will be hard to find any with a higher psi rating. It might not be a bad idea to put the heavier rated tires on and just inflate them to 60 psi, so you gain a stronger tire.

A quick look at the Maxxis tire chart shows that the LRC tire is rated at 50 psi and the LRD at 65psi. You will need to look at the wheels to make sure they are designed for the 65 psi tire.

Just because the tires are rated for 65 psi doesn't mean you have to (or should) inflate to that pressure. Tire pressure should be based on the load they are carrying (hence the 50 psi recommendation from the manufacturer. )

There is no procedure for that method for Original Equipment RV trailer tires.

I have heard thousands have died from exploding rims in the past year. Where did I hear that? Hmmmmm.... maybe I didn't. I think going from LRC to LRD would be a fairly benign upgrade. I have LRE 80 PSI Carlisle tires on my old 2002 rims and have yet to have one blow up; not saying it can't happen but wonder if ANYONE has ever heard of a rim going BANG????

The recommended pressure is provided by the manufacturer.

Dang! Is that why they put max load .... @ 80 PSI? If I pump my truck tires to 80 PSI when dragging a load can't I deflate them so I don't vibrate my brains out when I am not towing?

I would suggest checking the weight sticker at the front corner of the trailer. It is quite possible that it came with D range tires and someone replaced with C range for whatever reason. I have a smaller and lighter trailer than yours and mine came with Load Range D tires on aluminum wheels with a recommended inflation of 65 psi cold. Here is my sticker:

By my calculations you have 3500# axles and the LRC tires just barely meet the minimum requirement. IMO you should check the valve stems and wheels to see if they can support the 65 PSI needed for the LRD tires.

Made our maiden trip after replacing the C range tires with D range tires. New valve stems installed as well. Put on a TPMS and tires started out about 63psi cold and jumped up to around 67psi-70psi hot(ambient air temps were pretty cool). No issues at all.
