What Type and Weight Rating of Trailer Tire to Use on 2012 Crusader 5th Wheel Trailer
Based on your quoted Crusader trailer weight of 12,000+ pounds, I suspect you may have the Crusader model 360BHS with the optional 16-inch tires. I reviewed the online specifications for this trailer and there are no specifics offered as to whether light truck (LT) tires can be used in place of the special trailer (ST) type. I spoke to a technical representative at Prime Time Manufacturing but without specific trailer model information they were not able to comment. A tire blowout can have on

What Wheel Will Fit the Kenda 7-15LT Light Truck Tire # AM10414
The Kenda Light Truck Tire # AM10414 that you referenced has an overall outside diameter of 29.3 inches. My contact at Kenda directed me toward the 15 x 6 inch wheels to match this tire. I have attached a link that will take you directly to all 15 x 6 wheels available. My contact also told me that Dextar # AM20548 that you referenced, would not be a good choice. The 15 x 6 inch wheels capacity more closely matches the tire rating.The Dexstar # AM20548 is rated at 1820 lbs and the tire is 2375

Can a ST225/75D15 Trailer Tire be Swapped out for a ST225/75R15
The difference between the ST225/75D15 and the ST225/75R15 is the way the tire is constructed. The D in the ST225/75D15 size means that it is a bias-ply tire whereas the R in the ST225/75R15 means that it is a radial tire. Radial tires are preferred because the tire has more flex and will allow for more ground contact. That will improve traction and better tread wear. It also gives the radial tire better stability. Radials will also run cooler. So long story short, you could swap out the b

Will the Dexstar Conventional Steel Wheel # AM20404 Fit on a Miley Horse Trailer
To determine if the Dexstar Conventional Steel Wheel, # AM20404, will fit on your Miley horse trailer, we will need some information about your current wheels. First, we need the bolt pattern of your current wheels. This wheel has a bolt pattern of 5 on 4-1/2. The bolt pattern is the number of bolts and the diameter of the circle that the bolts make. I have attached an FAQ on how to determine your bolt hole pattern for you to check out. The next factor to consider is the size of the pilo

Changing from 5.30-12 to 4.80-12 Trailer Tire Size
If you wish to change from a 5.30-12 to a 4.80-12, you can certainly do so. Both tires are designed for use on a 12 x 4 inch rim. The new tire would be about 1/2 an inch narrower and about 1-1/2 inches smaller in diameter than your existing tire. The Kenda Bias Ply 12 inch trailer tire, part # AM10062 in the 4.80-12 size has a 990 lb weight capacity per tire at 90 psi. To maximize capacity and tire life, always keep trailer tires inflated to the maximum pressure listed on the tire sidewall.

Please note that not all bias ply tires are tubeless. I have provided a link to a product review video for this tire.

Switching from a 5.70-8 Tire to a ST175/80R13 Tire on a Boat Trailer
You can move to a larger tire size on your boat trailer, however, there are a few factors that you will want to take into consideration before making the switch. The first thing that you will want to keep in mind is that switching to a larger tire will not increase the weight capacity of your trailer. You will still be limited to the weight capacity of your axle. The next factor to consider is that the tires you currently have on your trailer are 5.70-8 tires. These tires mount on an 8 inch

How to Determine If Wheels are Hub Centric or Lug Centric on a Boat Trailer
There are two main types of wheels, hub-centric wheels and lug-centric wheels. Hub-centric wheels center on the hub using the hub bore and lug-centric wheels center on the hub using lug nuts. Hub-centric wheels typically use wheel bolts rather than lug nuts to attach to the hub. Hub-centric wheels are more commonly found on import vehicles and are not very common on trailers. If your wheels are hub-centric, you would want new wheels with the same pilot hole diameter as your current wheels be

Can Kenda K371 4.80/4.00-8 Trailer Tire Part # AM10004 Replace 16/5.00-8 Tractor Tire
The size difference between the Kenda 4.80/4.00-8 tire and your tractor tire size 16/5.00-8 is quite small so this tire should work fine on your tractor front wheels. We offer two tires in this size, both the Load Range C, # AM10004, rated for a maximum load of 760 lbs at 90 psi; and also a Load Range B tire rated for 590 lbs at 60 psi, part # AM10002.

Trailer Tire And Recommendation For 8x8 Foot Trailer Carrying 2 800cc ATVs
After some research, I have found that based on the weight of the 2 ATVs and your trailer, a tire with a load range of C (a 6 ply rated tire with a maximum load of 1760 lbs at 50 psi) is a compatible fit for your trailer. The size you referenced 18.5/8.5-8 is an older style of tire sizing. The newer version of that is 215/60-8. If you have trailer built for a 4-bolt wheel, I recommend the Kenda Tire and Wheel # AM3H290. If it is a 5-bolt wheel, I recommend the # AM3H310. Both have a weigh

Can Kenda Loadstar ST205/75D14 Bias Trailer Tire, Part # AM1ST86, Be Used as New Mobile Home Tires
The Kenda Loadstar ST205/75D14 Bias Trailer Tire, Part # AM1ST86, is not a one-time-use tire. It is specifically designed for routine use on a trailer and is not intended for use on other vehicles. This bias trailer tire is built with the stiff sidewall needed to support its Load Range C weight rating. It can carry a maximum load of 1760 lbs at 50 psi inflation pressure, making a set of these suitable for use on a 3000-lb-rated trailer axle. I have included a link to a helpful article con

Can You Run 110 psi Tires on Wheels with an 80 psi Rating
I spoke with one of the engineers at HWT and he told me that the psi rating for an HWT wheel and tire assembly is only limited by the valve stem and tire. If your current wheels or new wheels have a psi rating under 110 psi, it is okay to use tires with a 110 psi rating as long as you are using a metal valve stem that can handle 110 psi. We offer the Americana Metal Valve Stem, # AM20906. It is 1-1/4 inches long and it will fit a .625 inch (5/8 inch) rim hole diameter. You will want to compa

Can Kenda ST235/85R16 Radial Trailer Tire, Part # AM10501, Replace Light Truck Tires on 5th Wheel
The Kenda ST235/85R16 Radial Special Trailer Tire, part # AM10501, will fit your 16 x 6 inch rims. Special Trailer tires (ST type) have a stiffer sidewall than light truck (LT) tires and so will not provide quite as soft a ride. Special Trailer tires also usually carry a speed rating of up to 65 mph maximum. I reviewed a number of different NuWa 5th wheels on their website. The manufacturer specifies both LT and ST type tires depending on the series and model. For example, the 8 models i

Using Two Different Tire Makes on Single Axle Boat Trailer
Ideally, you would want to use identical tires on the same axle, but as long as both tires are the same size, both radials and are both of the same load range, using two different makes of tire on your boat trailer will not cause a problem. Be sure to keep your trailer tires fully inflated to the maximum psi listed on the tire sidewall for maximum performance and tread life. I have linked you to a tire FAQ article that you might find helpful.

Correct Replacement Trailer Tire Size for 1-1/2 Ton Utility Trailer That Uses 215/75R/15 Tires
The tire size currently on your trailer, 215/75R/15, is a light truck/passenger tire and not a trailer tire. You will be better off with tires made specifically for use on a trailer and rated appropriately for the axle. Keep in mind that the load your trailer can carry will be limited to the lowest rated component in the system - either the wheels/tires, the axles or the trailer frame itself. Increasing the capacity of one component, such as the tires/wheels, does not necessarily increase the we

Will an ST215/75-14 Trailer Tire Fit on a 6 Inch Wide Wheel
If your trailer uses a 5 on 4-1/2 bolt pattern then you can use wheel # AM20352 which is 5-1/2 inches wide. Or for a tire and wheel combo with a Load range C 215/75D14 bias trailer tire use # AM3S550. A 215/75-14 tire will fit on a 6 inch wide rim. The rim width is not the issue since the tire width is over 8 inches so there will be no clearance issue.

Changing from a ST205/75D15 Tire and Wheel to a ST205/75D14 Tire and Wheel on a Trailer
The main factors that you will want to take into consideration when moving from a st205/75d15 tire and wheel to a st205/75d14 tire and wheel is the weight capacity of the smaller tire and wheel and the bolt pattern. The weight capacity of a trailer tire is divided into load ranges, B, C, D, E, or F, however, tires with the same load range will have different weight capacities for different size wheels. For example, a load range C tire for a st205/75d15 tire and wheel will have a weight capac

Replacement 8 Lug Wheel Recommendation for a Keystone RV
Most likely the Dexstar Conventional Steel Wheel # AM20766 will work for you, but I would first recommend you determine the wheel bolt pattern of your trailer.

I attached an FAQ article on determining bolt pattern for you to check out. Most likely the tires on your trailer are a size that will work on this rim, but check the FAQ article I attached on trailer tire size

Can Radial and Bias Tire Types be Used Simultaneously on a Boat Trailer
We do not advise mixing bias ply and radial ply tires on any vehicle. Each type of tire has a unique cord construction under the tread layer that gives each one different ride characteristics. Bias tires use cords that run on a 32 degree angle to the direction of rotation. Radial tires use cords that run on a 90-degree angle to the direction of rotation. Bias ply tires have a stiffer sidewall and are generally more durable and suited to off-road use, while radial tires are more flexible a

Can an ST225/75D15 Tire be Used as a Temporary Spare for an ST205/75D15 Trailer Tire
You can use an ST225/75D15 as a temporary spare (provided the wheel is 6 or 6-1/2 inches wide) but you definitely do not want to have it on for long. I would say that it is fine to use to get you to a place that can repair or replace the 205/75-15. For replacement 205/75-15s we have a load range C, # AM1ST92 and a load range B # AM1ST91. The 225 will be 13/16 inches wider and about 1 inch taller so it will affect how the trailer tracks and put added stress on the 205 side. I have included a l

Are Dexstar Steel Spoke Trailer Wheels # AM20747 Compatible for Pickup Trucks
After speaking with my contact at Dexstar, I discovered the Dexstar Steel Spoke Trailer Wheels # AM20747 are not compatible for pickup trucks and are meant solely for use with trailers. This product is not Dept. of Transportation-approved for anything other than a trailer. Trailer wheels are not built to support passenger vehicles, both in weight and distances traveled. Automotive wheels are built for higher tolerances in both categories.

What is the Correct Valve Stem for Americana Aluminum Split Spoke Trailer Wheel, # AM22647
You would need to use Americana Rubber, Snap-In Valve Stem, # AM20903, with Americana Aluminum Split Spoke Trailer Wheel, # AM22647. You would not be able to fit Americana Metal, Bolt-In Valve Stem, # AM20906, because it is too large.

Will an ST215/60-8 Trailer Tire Replace a 5.70 x 8 Tire
Most trailer wheels have a zero offset but backspacing is going to be different amongst different rim sizes and widths. a 215/60-8 tire will have an overall diameter of 18.3 inches. a 5.70-8 has an overall diameter of 18.1 inches so there is not much difference there. The rim width is the big difference. a 5.70-8 fits on a 3-3/4 inch wide rim while a 215/60-8 fits a 7 inch. That 3-3/14 inch difference is quite a bit. When the tire is on the rim the larger size will be nearly 8.5 inches wide

Can 225/75-16 Tires be Replaced with ST235/80-16 Tires on 2001 Carriage Cameo 30R 5th Wheel Trailer
A 225/75-16 is not a standard trailer tire size. It may be a light truck or passenger vehicle tire size. Always make sure you are using trailer tires (indicated by an ST in front of the tire size). A 225/75-16 will be 30.184 inches in diameter and 8.865 inches wide. The larger ST235/80-16 is 30.9 inches in diameter and 9.259 inches wide.

Does a Trailer Wheel Center Hole and a Hub Bore have to Match
The expert answer you have referenced is correct. A wheel that secures to the hub using bolts instead of lug nuts actually centers on the hub so the pilot hole of the wheel has to be exact. If it is too large the wheel can easily be off center and lead to all sorts of problems. Hub # 8-91-05UC1 has a center bore outer diameter of approximately 2.4375 inches; very close to 2.5 inches but not quite.

Can an ST225/75-15 Trailer Tire be Mounted on a 5 Inch Wide Rim on a 5th Wheel Trailer
Any given tire will fit a range of rim widths. The ST225/75-15 tire will fit 6, 6-1/2, and 7 inch rims, but not a 5 inch rim. The tire will not be able to seat properly on the rim and you will not be able to keep air in it or safely use it.

What is the Offset of a Trailer Wheel
Trailer or automotive wheels can have a positive or negative offset. The offset refers to the distance between the mounting surface of the wheel that touches the hub and the center line of the wheel, as shown in the diagram I have edited for you. A positive offset will move the tire closer to the trailer, while a negative offset will push the tire further away.

What is the Diameter of Loadstar ST175/80D13 Bias Trailer Tire with 13 Inch White Wheel # AM3S140
When inflated to the maximum psi as indicated on the tire, which is how trailer tires should be inflated, the diameter of the tire, or height from the ground to the top of the tire, will be 24 inches for # AM3S140. This would mean that if you measure from the center of the pilot hole on the wheel, it should be 12 inches to the top and 12 inches to the bottom. However, when under load, the weight of the trailer is going to push down towards the top of the tire and the bottom of the tire may s

Can a Light Truck Be Used in Place of an 8-14.5 Trailer Tire
An 8-14.5 tire is normally seen on a motor home axle, which is designed for one time use only. We do have one tire that will fit, # AM10321. Some trailers can use a light truck tire but you do not want to use a passenger vehicle tire. The problem is that passenger vehicle tires are not rated and constructed to handle vertical load like a trailer tire is. Trailer tires have a thicker side wall.

Will a 175/80-13 Trailer Tire Fit In Place of a 175/65-13 Tire
A tire size 175/65-13 is not a typical trailer tire size, it is a car tire size. The closest match is a 175/80-13 like # AM31951 that you have referenced. The 2 different sizes will be the same width but the 175/80-13 will be a little over 2 inches taller. You will need to make sure there is at least 1 inch of clearance above the existing tire for the new tire to fit. I have included a couple of links on trailer tires for you to view.

Can a 205/65-10 Trailer Tire Fit in Place of a 5.70 x 8 Trailer Tire on a Popup Camper
Provided that the manual for the camper and the camper itself match, that is unique problem. I am inclined to lean towards the sticker on the trailer in this case. But, to be sure, you will need to determine the axle capacity and choose the tires and load rating that match it. The modern size for 20.5 x 8-10 is 205/65-10. This tire has a 20.5 inch diameter and it is about 8 inches wide. A 5.70 x 8 tire is 18.1 inches in diameter and is 5.7 inches wide so there is significant size difference.

The only difference between a 175/80-13 and a 175/80-14 is the height. The 14 inch model will be 1 inch taller. You need to make sure there is 1/2 inch of space available above the existing tires size to accommodate the larger size. I have included a couple of links on trailer tires for you. Also, a 14 inch tire will not fit a 13 inch wheel so you would need to replace the wheels as well. A 175/80-14 is not a common trailer tire size. If you meant a different size, let me know.
