Question:

We just bought a Palomino pop up camp trailer. We need a tire for the spare. I read your comment on someone giving you a weird tire size. Well here we go again. How about a 20.5/8.0-10. From what I read from you that is not a tire size. What tire can I replace this with? Thank God I dont have to replace the wheels. They are 4 on 2 3/4 center. The year on the trailer is 1985 colt series. Can you please help us. We are in Reno, Nev. Thank you.

The tire size that I have closest to that of the 20.5/8.0-10 would be a 205/65-10 like the Kenda Tire, # AM1HP54. This tire measures 20.6 inches in diameter by 8.3 inches wide, fits a 10 inch by 6 inch wheel, and has a load capacity of 1,330 pounds at 70 psi.

I have included a link to all of our 205/65-10 sized tires for your convenience.

Even though there is a very small difference in size from your current tires, I always recommend measuring for clearance on the trailer to ensure a proper fit.

When it comes to tires, you should always use ones of the same size, load range, and construction on a trailer. If you use tires that don't match, you could experience problems of overloading and overheating, which can lead to tire failure but because you only plan to use this tire as a spare, you should have no problem.
