Trailer tires

[phebus]

If a trailer has 225/70-15 tires, and you want to go to a low profile tire, what size would work best? I need to go a little lower to be able to put the boat in a standard 7' garage door. As it sits, it is the same heigth as the door opening, so just a little would work, but the more the better as long as it doesn't compromise anything.
Thanks

A 60 or 50 series in the same 225mm width will lower the trailer with a smaller diameter tire. But be careful of your load ratings.
