Tires for a 2007 Wildcat 29 BHBP
I currently has 225/75R15, but I don't know what rating of tire should I get D or E?
Thanks,

No matter what your best choice is Maxxis unless you upgrade to 16 inch tires.

After looking at your trailer model online I would go with Class E just to be safe. Donn is right that the Maxxis tires are the best. You can find them at Discount Tire Stores. Camping World carries Goodyear Marathons. They are a better tire than in the past but the Maxxis are still better. They will be more expensive as well.

With that GVW, I would go with the 'E' rated tires.

The other issue is the rating on your rims. They may not be rated high enough to run the recommended 'E' range pressure of 80 psi. I believe that the max pressure rating is stamped on the rim.

If you have to upgrade wheels might as well go to 16 inch LT tires.
