    I’d like to go to 15’s, then I could run LT tires instead of the junk ST that they sell now.

    Went to 15 inch tires and wheels on my 200 elite single axle trailer 4 years ago . The stock 14 inchers would not support the boat properly. Check out wheel king in California.

    Maybe they made a change at some point around 1990. My 90 176 (TI trailer) had 15s, 93 201 (TI trailer) had 14s & my 07 210 (MFI) has 14s

    My 07 200 has a single axle and had 14 inch tires. Might be because it is a later model produced at the Stratos plant?

    I would think they would have to be load range D then to handle the weight of the 200? ST205R75 LRC has a load capacity of 1760 lbs while the LRD has a capacity of 2040 lbs.

    I would agree , but it had c rated tires when I. bought it. Had trouble finding tires that I would trust in a d rating so I went with the 15's and aftermarket wheels, problem solved !

    When I bought my Champ in 1990 the single axel trailer came with BF Goodrich CLM ST, F78-14st load range C 1710 lbs cold at 50psi.. just checked for sure, the originals are on the wood splitter in the barn. I am running Maxis M8008 205/75 14 load range D now on it with a 2040 lb cold weight capacity

    My 2009 183 w/single axle has 14's. Came with LR-C but I upgraded last spring to LR-D Goodyear Endurance's.
