Different tire sizes

I have a 2007 Attitude Toy Box and had to replace one of the four tires due to picking up a nail in the sidewall. I ordered a new 225-75-R15 trailer tire to replace it with. I was installing the tire onto the toy hauler and it seems like the new tire is about 1/2" to 3/4" taller than the OEM tires? The tire size is the same although the manufacturer of the new tire is different. Will this pose any problems while towing? I just don't want to put more stress on the other tires creating more of a chance for a blow-out..... Maybe it's no big deal, but just trying to play it safe!!

I would talk with a tire shop. I have noticed in checking tires online, different manufacturer's tires can and often do have different circumferences. I would try to keep all tires from the same manufacturer.

Good luck.
