Topic: RPod 190 tire replacement Posted: 30 Jun 2019 at 3:52am |

+1 to Furpod, since a 225 75R 15 D rated tire is good for 2500 lbs you are already at about 40% over the max axle rating of an rPod. No need for the stiffer ride of E rated tires, your axle will throw in the towel way before D rated tires will.
As to tire brand, I will stay out of that debate. I personally bought a lovely set of Lodestar "china bombs" and have been perfectly happy with them.

He lied. Goodyear Endurance isn't a rebadged or renamed anything, it's an all new, made in the USA at Goodyear's own factories, tire. It's now the OEM on many new rigs, including Airstream, Lance, Oliver, and Bigfoot, among many. An E rated tire is probably to stiff a sidewall for a light weight trailer, D's would be plenty of head room with a less harsh ride, but that's a long and never ending debate.

You’ll want to get ST (special trailer) tires. Since the 190 is a heavy rpod and you have 15 inch wheels I’d recommend 225 75 r 15 load range D tires which should have a load rating of 2500 lbs.

Hi all, I want to replace my 113 108L tires for my 2019 1/2 rPod 190. Having trouble finding replacement options. Options for a better tire?
