Tire Replacement - Event Date: 05 Apr 2021

Will be replacing tires (205-75x14) shortly.  I'm quite fond of the Cooper's on my car and am pretty sure they make a tire to fit my Pod. What I'm curious about is if a "D" rating being good, would an "F" rated tire be better for my 179.  Was also curious if anyone was running the Green Ball tire from Costco, hard to find out where it's made.

An F load rating is not necessarily better. You can have too stiff a ride if the tire load rating is too high, resulting excessive shaking for the trailer and contents.

Look at the actual load rating chart in lbs for the tires you're considering. You want tires that have a higher rating than the axle does so the tires aren't the first thing that fails, so look for ones around 125% of half your axle rating.

I wouldn't go higher than 150%, no need and the ride will be getting very stiff. So for example if your axle is rated at 3500 lbs then look for tires with a load rating of 1.25 x 3500/2 or 2187lbs up to 1.5 x 3500/2 or 2625 lbs.

Don't know your axle rating? It's going to be the trailer dry weight + max cargo weight - tongue weight Typically 3500 lbs on the narrow body rpods and 4400 lbs on the wide bodies.

Also, keep your ST trailer tires inflated to the rated pressure cold. Underinflated ST tires tend to overheat due to flexing of the thick sidewalls.
