Looking for Information on Westlake super st. 205-75-R-15
I am looking for information ONLY on the West Lake Super ST 205-75-R-15 Speed rated D and load Range D tire from anyone that has had a problem with them on their travel trailer. I know other people have had problems with West Lake tires in others sizes and other trailers and weights. But I would like to hear from you with same size trailers. I do keep trailer under a covered carport when not being used , check tires before any trips and I also use a tire monitoring system. I have a 2019 Grand Design Imagine 2600RB. Thanks Tim

We have a 2020 Imagine 2600RB on Westlake Super ST 225/75R15 tires. These are factory with over 4500 miles on them with no issues. They are rated as range E tires. I measured the spare tread against the on ground tires and they show about 15% wear. When parked on the driveway, I cover the tires on the sun side to slow down environmental damage. We also run with TireMinder TPMS on the axle and spare tire. Pressure is 80psi.
Next week we will have the entire rig (2020 F-250 + 2600RB) weighed by Safe Weight. You get weighed as you would normally travel (1/2-3/4 tank fresh water, drained grey/black, bikes on rack, food, clothing, etc in trailer, normal load in truck (full fuel, driver+passenger, 2 dogs, and what we normally travel with in bed). They weigh each wheel to get truck weight, trailer weight, and GCVW. They also measure height and give you side to side weight (balance) and best tire pressure for vehicle and trailer weight. I really think this is better than CAT Scale which only provide axle and total weights. The side to side should help with handling and balance of the trailer.2020 F-250 XLT SuperCrew 7.3L Blue Ox SwayPro, 2020 Imagine 2600RB,

Only have 1300 km on mine because trailer is brand new but zero issues and I don’t expect any
They are a great tire and I have no plans to change them until it is time
The issues were with larger units and a completely different tire than we have

Something you might want to check. I might be wrong, but the year may have had 3500LB axles. The 2020 came with 4400LB axles. Changing to load range E may not accomplish exactly what you are looking for. The lowest rating (tires, axles) is the maximum load recommended.2020 F-250 XLT SuperCrew 7.3L Blue Ox SwayPro, 2020 Imagine 2600RB,

Looks like Grand Design put some 2600rb with 3500 axles and some with 4400 axles. I have the 3500 # axle on my 2019 trailer and the 205-75-R15 tire, the dealer also said it a good idea to change tires every 3-4 years .They also had a recall on some of the 3500# axles but mine was not one of them.

I changed mine immediately when we got our 2021 2500RL to Goodyear Endurance
Why risk it. If one blows can cause extensive damage greater than the $650 to change them
Peace of mind, why worry.
Compare them yourself in person not inflated.
The side wall of the Westlake is inferior to touch and sight
Either way get a tire monitoring systemDonna and Dave
