Tire size for 18' Avion Sportsman

Post by 66Avion18 »

Sorry to bring this topic up again, but I need to replace the vintage tires (literally) on my '66 Sportsman single axle and need some advice. From what I've read a P235/75R15 is the appropriate replacement for the L78-15LT currently on the trailer. The other question I have is load rating? I believe the trailer weighs about 2000 lbs.

I've also looked at a Carlisle Radial HD ST 205/75R15 Load C (= 101 or 1819 lbs). Is this a tire that would work? It's a bit narrower than the 235 (30 mm or just over an inch).

What is a l78 15lt equivalent to?
A 78-15 is an older tire size and the metric equivalent is going to be either a 205/75-15 or a 225/75-15 depending on the capacity you need to match the old tires.
