• Is There a Trailer Wheel with a 5 on 4-1/4 inch Bolt Pattern
  The most popular trailer wheel bolt pattern is the 5 on 4-1/2 inch bolt pattern and as far as we are aware the bolt pattern you mentioned is not used on trailers at all. So my bet is you probably have the 5 on 4-1/2 inch. I attached a help article that has more info on checking bolt pattern for you to check out. For a radial in the tire size of 185/80R13 with a 5 on 4-1/2 inch bolt pattern we have the part # AM32156 which would work great.

• Can a Mix of Bias Ply and Radial Trailer Tires be Used at the Same Time
  For a short distance, you can use radial and bias tires at the same time, but you would not want to have the mix for long distances or periods of time. The problem is that the 2 different tires track and perform differently and this can affect ride quality and increase wear on the tires. For a bias ply tire, load range D, 175/80-13, use # AM1ST77. For the same tire on a 5 on 4-1/2 inch galvanized 13 inch wheel use # AM31242. I have included a link to our tire FAQ article for you.

• New Hub/Drums, Brake Assemblies and Wheel/Tires for 2007 Pegasus Travel Trailer XP-260
  That's harder to say without more info. You said rotors though so disc brakes correct? Do you know what axle capacity you have? You said and inside wheels so is this a dually setup? If so I'd need to know the tire size you have as well as the wheel bolt pattern.

• What Happens If you Mix a Radial and Bias Ply Tire on a Trailer
  I'm going to be perfectly honest...the risk is pretty minimal BUT due to the construction differences between bias ply and radial tires the sidewalls do end up flexing differently which could in turn end up with unpredictable ride quality/handling/performance. Is this going to be an issue in normal, non-emergency travelling? Probably not, but if you were going higher speeds and needed to make an emergency maneuver there's a chance the trailer might not handle the situation as well with...

• What is Difference Between Trailer Tire Sizes ST205/75R14 and P205/75R14
  The difference between the two tire sizes is the application the tire was intended for. Tire sizes that start with ST are intended for use on trailers and tire sizes that start with P are designed for passenger vehicles. You shouldn't mix the applications as the tires are designed differently for their intended applications. If you have a trailer you are looking for a wheel and tire for you should stick with an ST205/75R15 size like the part # AM32156 that you referenced. This setup is...

• Radial vs Bias Trailer Tires and Can the Same Wheels Be Used for Both Types of Tires
  The same wheels can be used for both bias and radial tires. You do not need different wheels for radial tires. The tire you have now that is labeled ST205/75D14 is a bias tire because the D inside the tire size means diagonal or bias ply construction. A radial trailer tire will be labeled as ST205/75R14. The R inside the tire size meaning radial construction. The trailer specification of ST205/75C14 is meaning you can use a bias or radial with a Load Range C rating. Normally on a tire...

• Recommended Tire and Wheel for 1993 Trail Master Boat Trailer
  Hey John, I assume you meant to type 205/75/14 for the tire size on your Trail Master Boat Trailer (unless you installed some monster truck tires...), and if that's the case we definitely have some great options for you. There's a 99.9% chance the wheels on your trailer have a 5 on 4-1/2" bolt pattern, and for that configuration I recommend going with the Kenda Karrier Tire/Wheel Combo # AM32156. This is a super high-quality radial ply tire mounted to a galvanized wheel, which will do...

• Replacement For 3,500 lb Hydraulic Drum Brake Assembly For Boat Trailer
  So you're going to have to change out your hub and drum as well as tires to get a replacement brake assembly. The issue is your current drum being only 8.5” diameter x 2-1/4” wide; there are no brakes that fit that size drum. I appreciate all the info you provided and based on that, here is what you'll need: - Trailer Hub and Drum Assembly - 3,500-lb Axles - 10" Diameter - 5 on 4-1/2 - Galvanized # AKHD-545-35-G-K - Hydraulic Brake Kit - Uni-Servo - Free Backing - Dacromet - 10" - Left/Right...

• Can a Bias Ply Spare Tire Be Used On a Trailer When Switching to Radial Tires?
  You can keep a bias ply spare tire after you switch to Radial # AM10234 tires on your aluminum utility trailer. Since it is only a spare you will not have to worry about the long term differences in wear between the bias and radial tires.

• Replacement Hubs, Tires, and Wheels for Calkins Boat Trailer with 3,500 Pound Axle
  It looks like your Calkins boat trailer is equipped with a 3,500 pound axle. If this is the case, it is extremely likely that your hubs use the # L68149 inner bearing and # L44649 outer bearing. Although this is most likely the case, the only way to verify this will be to simply pull one of your existing hubs and check for the numbers that should be printed inside the bearings themselves. You will also want to note the bolt pattern on your current hubs. I have attached a great article that...

• Timbren Axle Less Kit with Hubs Recommendation for Small Trailer Towed by Chevy Tracker
  The bad news is that the Timbren kit part # A12WS545 that you referenced is not available in any way that will allow a hub with a 5 on 5 inch bolt pattern to fit. The almost good news is that you should try to match a vehicle wheel bolt pattern since passenger vehicle wheels should be used on a trailer anyway. They aren't rated for this application and the offsets don't match typically either. Best option is to use the # A12WS545 with a trailer wheel and tire like the # AM32156 or any of...

• Can Trailer Tire Size of ST145/R12 be Replaced with ST205/75R14
  As long as you have the needed clearance for the larger wheel and tire with part # AM32156 it would work just fine. It's going to be right at 5 inches taller than what you have and 3 inches wider. Keep in mind you want at least 1 inch between the tire and the trailer frame and 4 inches from top of tire to the bottom of the fender.

• Why Are Powder Coated Steel Wheels Not Recommended For Fresh Water Boat Trailer
  The # AM32161 and # AM32153 have powder coated steel wheels which is why they aren't recommended for a boat trailer. Since you're going to be using the trailer for fresh water and not salt water they wouldn't be as susceptible to corrosion, but it still poses a problem. The powder coat will suffer from chips and cracks over time, which will allow water to seep in through the imperfections causing them to rust. At the very least I would choose the Karrier ST205/75R14 Radial Trailer Tire...

• Recommended ST185/80r13 Radial Tire for Trailer
  Modular wheels like the Dexstar Steel Mini Mod Trailer Wheel - 13" x 4-1/2" Rim - 5 on 4-1/2 - Black # AM20245 will have more visual appeal and have spokes or holes in the wheel surface where a conventional wheel like the # AM20214 won't have those openings and is generally a more plain wheel. With that said, we do have several ST185/80r13 tires available, just none as a combo that come with the wheel included currently. I recommend taking a look at the Kenda Karrier ST185/80R13 Radial...

• Switching From ST185/80R13 Tires to ST205/75R14 Tires on Sun Tracker Boat Trailer
  It is possible to change your ST185/80R13 to the larger ST205/75R14, and many people like to upgrade their tires, but there are a few things to consider. One is that you will also be investing in wheels since you will need new wheels for the larger tires. The other thing you need to think about is clearance. It already looks like you're pushing it on clearance so you would likely have to remove the fender on your boat trailer to accommodate the larger tires. A tire like the Karrier ST205/75R14...

• Highest Capacity 13 inch Trailer Tire Recommendation
  If the total weight of your pop up camper is 3,300 lbs then you would need a wheel/tire combo that at least has the capacity of 1,650 lbs. The closest tire we have to that capacity in your size is the part # AM10210 which has a 1,610 lbs at 65 psi capacity. Your best option would be to bump up to the slightly taller tire size of 185/80-13 like part # AM1ST79 which has a 1,725 lbs at 65 psi. This tire fits the same rim size as your current size and is not even 1/2 an inch taller in diameter.

• Comparing ST175/80D13 Bias Ply Tires to ST175/80R13 Radial Trailer Tires
  The primary difference between special trailer tires ST175/80D13 and ST175/80R13 is the type of construction. The D in the first tire size indicates bias play construction as with wheel/tire # AM3S050. For the other tire designation ST175/80R13 the R indicates radial construction. The main practical difference between the tire types is that bias ply tires have stiffer sidewalls that make them better suited to rough roads and off-road use while radials have more flexible sidewalls that...

• Can I Use a Smaller Size Spare Tire On a Boat Trailer with 14 Inch Wheels
  The same dynamics for passenger tires are not applicable for trailer's. Therefore, I do not recommend using a smaller tire on your trailer as a spare. The spare tire on a vehicle is mainly designed to get you to the nearest repair station. The nearest repair station most likely has the correct replacement tire for your car but not your trailer. Therefore you will be forced to either have the trailer sit idle until one has arrives or you can use a full size spare. There are much greater...

You can then use the Karrier ST205/75R14 Radial Trailer Tire with 14" Galvanized Wheel - 5 on 4-1/2 - Load Range C # AM32156 for example. I've linked the page to all your options for galvanized or aluminum wheels for corrosion resistance.

• Replacement Trailer Wheel and Tire Recommendation for Size ST195/75R14
  Your tire size of ST195/75D14 is very unusual so we aren't going to have an ideal spare. The closest size we have would be 205/75-14 like the part # AM32156 that you referenced. In a pinch this would get you home, but ideally you swap all of your trailer wheels with this and then use an additional one as a spare.

• Can a Trailer Spare Tire be Slightly Smaller in Diameter than the Rest of the Tires
  Typically we recommend the use of the same tire size when picking out a spare tire for a trailer, but since the overall tire diameter difference between the two tire sizes you listed is only .3 of an inch you would be fine for just getting the trailer home or to a shop. If you aren't in a hurry to get the spare tire I would recommend that you order in the correct size tire just to be on the safe side. If your wheels have a 5 on 4-1/2 inch bolt pattern you would want the Loadstar ST185/80D13...

• Does The Kenda ST205/75R14 Radial Trailer Tire and Wheel # AM32153 Come Balanced
  The wheel and tire combinations do not come balanced from the supplier. The supplier will mount the heavy spot of the tire with the light spot on the wheel, but it is not completely balanced. This wheel and tire combination is designed for use on trailers only. I walked out to our warehouse and checked our inventory on the Kenda ST205/75R14 Radial Trailer Tire and Wheel, part # AM32153. The tires have a stamping of 3011, which indicates that the tires were manufactured in the 30th week...
