On the same subject, I noticed that Michelin LTX M&S tires for light trucks does come in 225/65R17 radial light truck tire (not in 215 size for 65R17). Overall diameter is 28.5 inches which which might be cutting it too close to fit during bouncing on the road.
The Michelin Defender T&H tire is 28.03 inches in diameter and does come in the same size 215/65R17 as my current Kenetica Loadstar ST215/65R17 trailer tires (DOT#: 7YJ4 ANA 4218). Yes, the 5 tires on my 2019 Ranger Z520C trailer are "ST" tires. These tires were made during the 42nd week of 2018.
So my questions would be: 1) Will the Michelin LTX light truck tire fit my 2019 Z520C boat trailer being wider (225 vs. 215) and larger in diameter (28.5" dia. vs. 28.03" dia.) versus the Micheline Defender T&H tire? 2) Do I need the LTX light truck tire on my Ranger boat trailer or will the Michelin Defender T&H tire suffice? Thanks.
