RE: [A/S] New Tires, OH NO! not again!
The 225-75-15 is the metric size that compares to the 7.00-15 tire although
it is slightly shorter I understand. I have a 31' Excella with Carlisle ST
225-75-16 load range D tires and I had a blowout last year coming back from
Georgia. All 4 tires were 3.5 years old. My 25' '86 Sovereign is shod with
Goodyear Marathon 255-75-15 load range C tires that are a mixture of less
than a year to 2 years old but I can't tell you their history since I just
bought the trailer several months ago. 1100 miles on them since purchase
and no problem. I'm beginning to believe it's just luck of the draw. I
would however, keep close eye on tire pressure whatever tire brand you
choose.
