• How to Choose Correct Replacement Tires for a 2001 Coleman Bayside Pop-up Camper
  The price of tires has risen over the last decade, but that is the case with almost everything. The best way to choose the correct replacement tires is by the tire size listed on your current tires or on the trailer's identification plate. If you can tell me the tire size or send me the picture of the tire information on your trailer, I would be happy to give you a few recommendations. I did some research on your camper, but I have found different tire size information, so it would be...

• Tire and Wheel Options for a ST185/80-D13 Trailer Tire
  In general, radial ply tires are better for long highway trips whereas bias ply tires are better for short trips that may lead you offroad. However, we only offer bias ply trailer tires in a ST185/80-D13. We currently have 3 wheel/tire combos in your size all of which have a wheel with a 5 on 4-1/2" lug pattern. I have attached these options for you below but you will want to use the attached help article to ensure you have chosen the correct lug pattern. Loadstar Tire/Galvanized Wheel:...

• Choosing Between Radial or Bias Ply Tires for Boat Trailer
  The only instance where we might conceivably recommend a bias ply tire over a radial tire would be for farm or agricultural use where the tire would primarily be used on non-paved surfaces. This is due to the fact that the thicker sidewalls used on bias-ply tires would offer more stability. For a boat trailer, or any other trailer used on pavement a radial tire is preferable. A radial tire will have a more flexible sidewall, which provides better tread contact with the pavement. Radial...

• Replacement Tire Recommendation for an ST185/80R13 Size Tire on a Travel Trailer
  The load range D on the Loadstar ST185/80D13 # AM1ST79 actually gives you a higher weight rating than the C load range. For this size D is 1,710 lbs at 65 psi while C is 1,480 lbs at 50 psi. It doesn't hurt to have a tire that is rated for more weight and the benefit to this tire is that it has a max speed rating of 81 mph. If you need a wheel as well then I recommend part # AM3S331 as this is the same tire but it comes with a white wheel that has a 5 on 4-1/2" bolt pattern. Bias tires,...

• Can 15 Inch Tires and Wheels be Put on a Trailer with 14 Inch Tires and Wheels
  You can go to a larger size tire on your boat trailer as long as the larger size will fit. If you went to a 205/75-15 tire size the width would not be an issue but it will be 0.4 to 0.8 inches taller than a 215 or 205 size 14 inch tire, respectively. There would need to be greater than 0.2 to 0.4 inches above the existing size to go to a 15 inch, which seems very likely. The most common wheel bolt pattern for a 205/75-15 is going to be a 5 on 4-1/2 inch. I have linked a help article that...

• Can Bias Trailer Tires Be Replaced with Radial Trailer Tires
  Yes, as long as the actual tire size is the same, a radial ply tire like the Kenda ST185/80R13 # AM10208 will fit onto the wheel just the same as the bias alternative # AM1ST79 it's replacing. Radial trailer tires differ from bias models due to the 90 degree angle the cords run to the direction of travel (compared to a 32 degree angle on bias). This allows radials to flex a bit more for better ground contact and stability. The physical fit onto an existing wheel and trailer suspension...

• Replacement Tires and Wheels for a Utility Trailer with P185/70R14 Tires and 5 on 4-1/2 Wheels
  I would recommend replacing the tires along with the wheels on your utility trailer. The tires that you currently have on your trailer are passenger car tires which can be identified by the P at the beginning of the tire size and it is not a common trailer tire size. Trailer tires will have an ST, or special trailer, designation on the tire size. Trailer tires are constructed with a stronger sidewall and can handle higher air pressures which are needed when carrying a load on a trailer....

• Can a 14x6 Trailer Rim be Replaced by a 14x5 Rim
  Going to a skinnier trailer rim like what you are looking to do shouldn't be a problem. A rim that is 1 inch thinner should work just fine. All of the 14 inch trailer tire size we offer are confirmed to fit 14 by 6 inch and 14 by 5 inch rims so you should be able to still use your current tire size.

• Should Radial or Bias Tires be Used for a 3500lb GVWR Pop Up Camper Trailer
  I can clear this up for you really quick. Radial tires run cooler and track better than bias ply tires. Bias ply tires are typically a little more heavy duty and better for rough terrain. But you can use either one provided that the size and capacity is enough for the trailer. It is usually best to stick with the tires recommended by the trailer manufacturer. In this case it would be a bias ply tire. For just a tire in an ST185/80-13 we have # AM1ST79 which is rated for 1,725 pounds at...

• 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...

• Tire Recommendation for a Coleman Taos Pop Up with 13 inch Wheels
  You didn't list your tire size, but if you have a 185/80D13 like the part # AM3S331 that you mentioned I have a better recommendation I can make. You would be better served with the part # TTWTRTM1758013C as it is a radial tire that has an 81 mph speed rating (most have a 65 mph rating) and is a radial which is a better tire setup than a bias-ply like the tire you mentioned. A radial tire flexes more than a bias tire, giving it better ground contact, traction, stability, and tread wear. A...

• Will 175/80-14 Tires Replace 175/80-13 Trailer Tires
  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.

• Do Loadstar 185/80D13 Sized Trailer Tires Need to be Balanced
  Trailer tires do not need to be balanced like passenger tires on a vehicle do. Our tire and wheel combos are balanced by mounting the high heavy spot on the tire so that it is aligned with the low light spot on the wheel. They can be balanced at a tire shop if you'd like but it isn't necessary. The tire and wheel combo you referenced, Loadstar # AM3S331 is a 185/80D13 bias tire that has a Load Range D. It's rated up to 1,725 pounds at 65 psi. Trailer tires should always be inflated...

• How to Pick Out Spare Wheel and Tire for a Boat Trailer
  You will need to know two things to pick out a spare wheel and tire for your boat trailer. You will need to know the size of the tire that is on the trailer currently and the bolt pattern of the wheel. The tire size will be listed on the sidewall of the tire. I attached a picture that shows what it will look like. I also attached a help article on determining wheel bolt patterns as well. Once you know that information check out the other link I attached that has all of the wheels and...

• Comparing Tire Sizes ST185/80D13 and ST175/80R13 and Bias Ply/Radial Tire Construction
  We offer both of the trailer tire sizes you mentioned, ST175/80R13 and ST185/80D13. In terms of size they are very close to one another; the ST175/80R13 size measures 24.1-inches in diameter and 6.9-inches wide while the ST185/80D13 size measures 24.4-inches in diameter and 7.2-inches wide. Both tire sizes fit on the same wheel sizes, 13-inchers that are 4-1/2, 5 or 5-1/2-inches wide. In most trailer applications these two tire sizes are going to be interchangeable.

• Can I Use Radial and Bias Tires at the Same Time?
  If this is just a temporary spare, you can but not for long. We recommend running the same type tire on both sides for safe towing because the different types will respond differently on the road. We need each tire on your trailer to handle the same so we don't have issues on the road. If you decide to go with both bias tires then you need Item # AM3S331. If you want to go with radials you need Item # AM31991. I have radials on my trailer! Radials have more flex to them. Radials grip...

• What is the Difference Between ST185/80D13 Trailer Tires and ST185/80R13 Trailer Tires
  Loadstar ST185/80D13 Bias Trailer Tire # AM3S331 is a bias ply construction whereas the 185/80R13 you have is a radial tire construction. The difference is how the plies run inside the tire. You would want to keep the construction type the same on the trailer for best performance and even tire wear. In size 185/80-13 we only have bias ply tires. This type is better for rough rounds or gravel but do fine on pavement. Radial tires are best on pavement but will work fine on rough roads or...

• Will a 175/80-13 Trailer Tire Fit the Same Wheel as a 185/80-13 Trailer Tire
  Trailer tires in sizes 175/80-13 and 185/80-13 will fit the exact same wheel sizes. You can have the 175 mounted on the wheel and use it as a spare but you would not want to run different sizes for long. I have included a link to some trailer tire FAQ articles for you. One of them shows the 2 different sizes you have and that each will fit the same size wheels.

• Is it Possible to Go from a 5.30-12 Trailer Tire to a ST185/80R13
  Your current 5.30/12 tire and wheel setup has an overall diameter of 21.9 inches and the ST185/80R13 has an overall diameter of 24.1 inches. That means you will have 1.1 inches less of clearance between your tire and fender as well as about 2 more inches of width to your tires. If you have clearance for the bigger tires on your setup this would work well for you. For a wheel and tire with the size you are looking for that has 5 on 4-1/2 inch bolt pattern you would want the part # AM3S331. Trailer...

• New Wheels and Brakes for 2002 Coleman Westlake Pop-Up Camper
  The # AM3S331 ST185/80D-13 wheel/tire combo you specified should work well for you. The brake assemblies you need will depend on the diameter of your brake drum, which is most likely a 7x1-1/4 inch (7 inches inside diameter, 1-1/4 inside depth). If that's the case, you'd use the AxleTek # AKEBRK-2L for the drivers side and # AKEBRK-2R for the passenger side. There isn't a self-adjusting 7 inch diameter brake assembly available. If you have a 10x2-1/4 inch brake drum, you'd use # AKEBRK-35R-SA...

• Will ST175/80-13 and ST185/80-13 Trailer Tires Fit on the Same Size Wheel
  Yes, both an ST175/80-13 and ST185/80-13 will fit on wheels that are 4-1/2, 5. or 5-1/2 inches wide. The main difference in these 2 sizes is the overall width of the mounted tire and the overall diameter. 175/80-13 will be 6.895 inches wide and have a diameter of 24.1 inches. 185/80-13 will be 7.289 inches wide and have a diameter of 24.4 inches.
