• Spare Wheel and Tire for Aluma Trailer 6310H
  You'll have to get me the bolt pattern and tire size that is stamped on the sidewall of what you currently have on your trailer for me to determine what the correct spare would be.

• How to Get Wider Tires on Trailer With ST145R12 Tires
  The 5.7 inch width of a ST145/R12 tire is by far the widest 12 inch tire, so in order to get a wider tire you will need to upgrade to a ST175/80R13 tire, which measures 7 inches wide. This means you will also need new, 13 inch wheels for the tires to fit. Assuming you have the clearance and you have a 5 on 4-1/2" bolt pattern (if you aren't sure you can use the guide/template I linked below), you simply need to choose the option with the correct load capacity, either C or D: - Load Range...

• Changing ST185/80-13 Tire Size on Shorelander Boat Trailer
  Because the size of both tires is so similar, you can certainly use the # AM31952 as a replacement. An ST185/80-13 tire will typically be slightly larger in diameter and width than an ST175/80-13 tire, but only by around 1/4 inch. Although the # AM31952 has a higher load rating than your existing tires, this higher rating will not provide any additional capacity over and above the capacity of your axle. For instance, lets say that your boat trailer uses a 2,000 lb axle. Two of the #...

• Spare Tire For Boat Trailer With 5 on 4-1/2" Wheel Bolt & 195/55R15 Tires
  Hey Jeff, The reason the selection seems limited is because you have passenger tires on your boat trailer as there aren't 195/55R15 sized trailer tires. So there isn't a trailer tire and wheel you can get that's going to be the same size. A 195/55R15 tire measures 23.4" in diameter and 7.7" wide, and the closest size to that in a trailer tire is a 24" diameter, 6.9" wide, ST175/80R13 size tire. So you can go with that for a spare in a pinch, or replace all your tires and wheels with that...

• Do Trailer Tires Need to Be Balanced
  It is not a requirement to balance trailer tires like you do for your vehicle tires. The reason for this is because the trailer tires have a tendency to "throw weights". This means that the weights come off the wheels. This can happen for a number of reasons, but it is not uncommon for the weights to be thrown off when towing a trailer empty (the trailer bounces excessively because of the no load conditions) or when making very tight turns on tandem or tri axle trailers. Furthermore, the...

• Comparing 12" Tire Options ST145/R12 And 5.30-12
  Hey Neil. The # AM30861 and # AM35354 are very similar in size. The Kenda Karrier ST145/R12 Radial Trailer Tire # AM35354 is actually slightly smaller in diameter than the Kenda 5.30-12 tires, so out of the two 12" tires you mentioned, this will be your best bet for an upgrade. I do still suggest that you measure to make 100% sure you will have enough clearance to fit a tire 5.7" wide and 21.3" in diameter.

• Can I Upgrade The 12 Wheels On My Trailer To 13 Wheels?
  Upgrading wheels on a trailer is a pretty common thing to do, but you want to make sure you have the space to do so. You should have at least 3" from the top of the tire to the bottom of the fender/wheel well and then around 1.5" between the tire's sidewall and the side of the fender/wheel well. This measurement is less important than the space at the top of the tire, but is still something to keep an eye on. With that said, as the average 5.30x12 tire will have an outer diameter of 21.9"...

• Larger Replacement for a 4.80-12 5-Lug Trailer Tire and Wheel
  I have several options to upgrade 4.80-12 wheel/tires on a trailer without replacing hubs, ranging from 13" - 15". The best option will really come down to how much space you have available and this will be different for each trailer. The Karrier ST175/80R13 Radial Trailer Tire with 13" Galvanized Wheel part # AM31952 would be a good option assuming you have the correct amount of space for the 24" diameter x 7" wide dimensions. If you need larger fenders to accommodate this new size, the...

• Recommended Air Inflation Pressure for 175/80-13 Tire Included with AM31952 Wheel/Tire Combo
  Kenda recommends that their trailer tires like the one included with the # AM31952 wheel/tire combo be kept fully inflated to the 50psi listed on the tire sidewall. I've linked to a product description video for the # AM31952 wheel/tire combo.

• Can I Upgrade from 12 Inch Wheels to 13 Inch Wheels on a Boat Trailer
  Generally speaking, it is not a huge deal to upgrade one size (12" to 13") so long as you have clearance but the other thing to make note of is the surface area on the hub. If you have a 2,000 lb trailer axle then your hub is likely only rated for use with 8"-12" wheels but if you have a 3,500 lb trailer axle then your hub is likely rated for use with 13"-15" wheels. However, there are hubs for either axle that will allow you to upgrade/degrade wheels so if you can confirm your axle capacity...

• Can a Trailer with 12 Inch Tires and Wheels be Upgraded to 14 Inch Tires and Wheels
  You do not necessarily have to change the axles or suspension to go to a larger tire size. What you will need to do though is determine how much space there is from the inside tire side wall and the trailer frame and how much space is available above the tire (if the trailer has fenders that could interfere with a larger size). Then you can determine if a larger tire will even fit. If you could look at the tires you have now and tell me the size I can tell you how much larger a 14 inch...

• Comparing Loadstar and Karrier ST175/80-13 Tires
  I'm not quite sure why it's called a "rating" column because that just has to do with how many reviews have been left on the product page. The biggest differences between the Loadstar # AM3S158 and the Karrier # AM31952, is that the Loadstar is a bias tire which means it will perform better for off-road applications, the Karrier is a radial so it will do better than the Loadstar on the highway. Attached are some review videos for you to check out as well.

• Benefits of Upgrading to 5.30-12 or 175/80-13 Tires On a Boat Trailer
  The benefits of upgrading to larger tires are better weigh ratings, higher speed capacity, larger wheel/tire selection as well as reduced wear/tear on the hubs. If you have the needed space then this is a great option. The 5.30-12 tires are 21.9" diameter x 5.6" wide, I recommend the Kenda 5.30-12 Bias Trailer Tire with 12" Galvanized Wheel part # AM30850. The 175/80-13 tires are 24.1" diameter x 7" wide, I recommend the Karrier ST175/80R13 Radial Trailer Tire with 13" Galvanized Wheel...

• Upgraded 13 Inch Wheels/Tires for a Pontoon Boat Trailer
  The new 175/80-13 tire will be 3-1/2" larger in diameter than the old 205/65-10 tire you have now. This means you will lose around 1-3/4" of clearance. I recommend that you have at least 3" so you will be close but ultimately the choice is up to you. The next size down would be a 145/80-12 (Kenda Karrier S-Trail ST145/R12 Radial Trailer Tire part # AM10140 with Steel Spoke Trailer Wheel part # AM20134) and you will only loose around 1/2" with this size.

• Recommended Larger Wheels and Tires for EZ Loader Trailer with 4.80-12 Tires
  The best upgraded tire size option for your trailer will come down to how much space you have avavailbe. The Karrier ST175/80R13 Radial Trailer Tire with 13" Galvanized Wheel part # AM31952 measures 24.1" diameter x 7". A 4.80-12 measures 20.5" diameter x 4.8" wide so you need to account for another 3.6" diameter and 2.2" width. The diameter is halved but you will want to measure from the top of the tire to the bottom of fender and then from inside of tire to outside of frame. You'll need...

• Best Kenda 175/80R13 Radial Trailer Tire and What Load Range to Select For a 3,500lb Trailer
  The Karrier ST175/80R13 Radial Trailer Tire # AM10199 that is on the Wheel and Tire Package # AM31952 is Kendas best tire in this size. It is their KR03 tire line and uses Double steel belts and full nylon plies combine for superior function and long life. Kenda's Karrier tires will also state Load Star on them as well but it is the model KR03 which is their best for this size. Since you are not going to exceed the 1,360lb capacity of each load range C tire you will not want to move up...

• Can an ST185/80R13 Trailer Tire be Replaced with an ST175/80R13 Trailer Tire
  If the trailer is supposed to have 185/80-13 tires on it, then you should stick with that tire size and use # AM3S334. This is the correct size tire with a galvanized wheel. The only difference is this is a bias tire and not a radial. A bias tire the cords inside run at a 32 degree angle from the direction of travel and on a radial tire, the cords run 90 degrees across the width of the tire. If you go with a smaller 175 tire and wheel combo, it will be about a half inch more narrow, and...

• Can A ST185/80R13 Trailer Tire Be Used To Replace A ST175/80R13 Trailer Tire?
  You will more than likely be just fine replacing your 175/80R13 tires on your boat trailer with ST185/80R13 tires like the Kenda Karrier ST185/80R13 Radial Trailer Tire - Load Range D # AM10208 due to them being so close in size. The ST185/80R13 will only be about 1/2" taller and about 1/4" wider, so as long as you have at least 3-1/4" between the top of your current tire and the bottom of your fenders you will be just fine. There is a slight benefit in going with the larger tire, as...

• Can 12 inch Trailer Tire Be Upgraded to 13 inch Trailer Wheel and Tire
  An ST145/R12 tire like the Kenda Karrier S-Trail # AM10140 measures 21.3 inches in diameter when inflated and is 5.7 wide. The smallest 13 inch tire is ST175/80R13 quite a bit bigger, measuring 24.1 inches in diameter and 7 inches wide. You'll need to measure to determine if you have clearance. If so, and if you have a 5 on 4-1/2 inch bolt pattern there are a number of options available for this tire with different styles of wheel (if you are unsure of your exact bolt pattern you can...

• Upgrading Tires And Rims On A Boat Trailer From 12" To 13"
  Hey Neil thanks for your question. I will start by saying that we should be able to determine exactly what size tires you can or can't use and we can avoid the need for a return. I have linked our return policy for you below if you want to read it over. As far as upgrading the rims on you boat trailer, it will completely depend on what kind of clearance you have in the wheel well/fender area. Our rule of thumb is that you want 3" between the tire and the fender on all sides, and at least...

• Parts Needed to Upgrade to a Larger Trailer Tire
  To install a larger 13 inch tire and wheel combo like the Kenda Karrier # AM31952, you will need to get more room for the wheels. With your current tire having a diameter of 21.9 inches and a width of 5.6 inches, these would be quite a bit larger having a diameter of 24.1 inches and a width of 7 inches. You want to keep the side wall of the tire and the wall of the fender somewhere around an inch or inch and a half, but this is not as important as the height. You want to have a minimum...

• How to Determine Replacement Tires for Calkins Trailer
  We have no way of looking up the stock tire size based on a serial number or VIN. Without a year or model I can't really look for pictures either to see what might have come standard. I would check to see if there is a data plate/sticker with this information listed somewhere on the trailer. Typically you want to replace the tires with the same size that you have now. If you have ST175/80R13 tires on the trailer like the # AM31952 you looked at then that is what I would stick with for...

  From my research on your 2021 SeaDoo MOVE trailer, it looks like you have a 5 on 4-1/2 lug pattern on your wheels. We do have radial tires in your current size (4.80x12). That is the Taskmaster 4.80R12 Radial Trailer Tire # TT48012C with the Steel Spoke Trailer Wheel - 12" x 4" Rim - 5 on 4-1/2 - Galvanized Finish # AM20134.
