That's the American way: if enough is good, more is better.

I prefer not to raise vehicles and think adding nearly 20% over the factory requirements is enough. In the process I found a lot about trailer tires and wheels that I did not know and feel comfortable with my decision to go with the 205/75R15 LRD.

Just a final note: it rains a lot in Florida. Too large a contact patch for the load can lead to unladen understeer and aquaplaning in a deluge. However I doubt that is a problem with a 75 series trailer tire. My TV does have 245/70R17s and I have had the ABS talking to me before. Works very well but may need to dial back on the trailer brakes in heavy rain.
