    205-75-r 15 tires?

    Im in need of some new tires for my boat. It's a single axle triton trailer. The trailer is rated for 2900 lbs. Dry hull weight is 1200, 90 hp 2 stroke merc @350lbs, 3 batteries and gear. So probably around 2500 lbs in total on the axle(including trailer). Any suggestions? I'm having a hard time finding many options...

    ****rechecked the trailer I.d. plate and the original tires that should be on the trailer are 215-75-r14's**** so the previous owner must have installed the 205-75-r 15 himself... I plan to switch back to the other rims and tires... suggestions??

    No need to switch back. Just get Goodyear Endurance, they are d rated and made in the USA.

    Do not pass go. There are really no other options if you are looking for anything other than whatever is cheapest.

    If you keep the 15" you'll have a lot more tire choices. The Maxxis M8008 ST in the 205/75/15 are a D load range and have good reports.
    I had to go with GoodYears because I have 14". If I would had that choice I would
    have went with the Maxxis. Just bad experience with the Years.
