1-Year Worry-Free Guarantee
This tire has a 1-year worry-free guarantee. If within the first 12 months the tire is damaged in any way, it will be replaced at no charge.
Bias Tires vs. Radial Tires
Bias ply tires are designed for off-road or agricultural applications. They are built with thick, durable nylon cords that are positioned at a 30- to 45-degree angle to the direction of travel. The layers alternate in a crisscross pattern, making the sidewalls stiffer so that the entire tire is able to flex easily. As a result, the tire provides a smooth ride and improved handling when trailering on uneven surfaces.
Beveled Stud Holes
The stud holes on this steel wheel are beveled to ensure that the wheel stays tight against your trailer hub. This also eliminates the need to constantly retorque the lug nuts.
Determining the Bolt Pattern
The first number in the bolt pattern is the number of bolt holes. The second number denotes the diameter, in inches, of the circle on which the bolt holes sit.
To determine the bolt-circle diameter on wheels with an odd number of bolt holes, measure from the center of any bolt hole to the point halfway between the two bolt holes directly across from the first. (Example: "5 on 4-1/2" means 5 bolt holes with 4-1/2" measured to a point halfway between the opposite bolt holes.)
On wheels with an even number of bolt holes, measure from the center of one bolt hole to the center of the hole directly across from it. (Example: "8 on 6-1/2" means 8 bolt holes with 6-1/2" from the center of one hole to the center of another on the opposite side.)
Measuring the distance from the center of one bolt hole on the wheel to the center of a bolt hole right next to it can also help to determine the bolt pattern.
- If D = 2-5/8", then the bolt pattern is 5 on 4-1/2"
- If D = 2-3/4", then the bolt pattern is 5 on 4-3/4"
- If D = 3", then the bolt pattern is 5 on 5"
- If D = 3-1/4", then the bolt pattern is 5 on 5-1/2"

Chinese crap, will see how long it will last before blowing up. The price was affordable for what I was going for. The foot print is narrower than a GoodYear Endurance 205/75/14.

We put these on a flatbed that only gets use about once every 2 weeks, but we have had no issues with them through the first year

Great wheel and tire combo. Looks great and has nice tread, it's perfect for my trailer. Looks so much better tgan the factory 1986 wheel and tire combo.

#1 This site is dynamite!
I needed 6 tires for my Boat Trailer, and I must tell you the information given to my son & I was outstanding. We were able to go to the Boat Dealer handling our "very used trailer" and He was able to give us the useful measurements we needed to get the most accurate tire size.
The Customer Service is OUT of THIS WORLD!!!!!
I wish every Company I encounter would be 1/2 as great as these people!
We got the Tires immediately UPS! I was amazed!
I have already told so many guys about your site and for anyone needing any items associated with TRAILERS, YOU ARE THE FOLKS!!!!
Your site was a fabulous find!
Thank YOU !!!!!!
Sincerely,
Ken

I would go and get your tires spin balanced. All 5 of mine were out of balance as expected and 60 dollars cured all of that. It will provide for a better ride for your RV and certainly help to eliminate any vibration.

I mistakenly ordered the wrong wheel for my trailer and the return fee was way to much. I am stuck with a tire and wheel I can’t use. Should have ordered from someplace that would have accepted a return at no cost!!

Is a tire, and a rum, and works as a spare. Quite pricey, but they had it, I needed it, and I paid the price..
by: Bob11/22/2017
I put these tires on a 1960 utility trailer. It was a former U hall trailer before they went to all metal trailers. It is 5'X 8' with 30" high sides. It's great to move heavy furniture, mulch, and dirt. I needed new tires and rims. I found this website to be informative, easy to order, excellent prices and very fast delivery. I love the look of the new set on the trailer and the ride and tracking is much better. I highly recommend this web site
by: Scott 06/11/2021
Exactly what I was looking for and it was exactly as shown and described on the website. Product arrived on time and the price was very competitive. I will definitely order from etrailer in the future for my trailer needs.

I bought this rim and tire as a spare for my trailer. I havent had to use it yet thankfully so I cant rate it as far as how its holding up under use. I can say that the quality looks as good as what came on the trailer.
by: Tom 04/25/2020
I'm updating a 16' utility trailer I purchased in 1991. I placed an ordered for five AM3S862 tires and wheels. They arrived in two days and were just perfect to finish the project. I've had the trailer on two short runs for material and it handles great. I will be ordering from etrailer.com again.
by: Terrence 08/09/2022
This purchase extended the life of our cargo trailer which has made several long haul trips for us without any issues. The eTrailer experience has been great!
by: Emery M10/28/2019
Arrived quickly and met all expectations. Took advantage of the free shipping, which wasn't cheap for a tire and wheel combo this size and weight. Best deal going in regards to getting a spare tire and wheel for my trailer. Will purchase my next one here too.
by: Don08/01/2014
The Tire and Rim were received via UPS on schedule. They look great. FYI, it will be used as a spare for my small utility trailer. Unfortunately the trailer is not here so I am unable to verify it fits OK (it should). I will do this in a couple of weeks. Thank you E-Trailer, I had quotes from local tire dealers for nearly double the price you advertised. This was ridiculous, they obviously didn't want to be bothered or do business with me.
by: John T03/30/2023
I ordered on Thursday and 3 tires arrived on Saturday and 1 tire arrived on Monday, a little odd but I still received them much faster than expected. Packaging was great!
by: Michael10/07/2022
Item was great but had to return because trailer purchase didn’t happen. Cost to return was $60 for a $170 item. Ended up selling locally at a significant loss. Make sure there isn’t a possibility you’ll need to return or etrailer will make you pay dearly.
by: Kelsey04/29/2022
It's a spare trailer tire, so it hasn't been used, but the tire and rim are of good quality and are what I ordered. Competitive prices and quick shipping. would order from them again.
by: Steve W.06/02/2014
The etrailer website was easy to use. The tires mounted on rims were delivered in days and were ontime, were well packaged, and were what I expected. I would order from etrailer again and recommend them.
by: Jesse N10/11/2012
I ordered one tire and wheel, just to make sure of the quality. It was delivered in just a few days. I placed it on my trailer and it worked so well, I placed another order of two more. Again the shipping was extremely fast. I order it on a Tuesday and 2 days later, it had arrived. I'm very happy with the service,shipping, and quality of the tires and wheels.
by: Howard08/11/2019
Tires and wheels arrived in two days very fast, great price and quality is as described would highly recommend etrailer to all who need tires and wheels in a timely manner. Quality and service in the time of need.
by: Alan Hill07/14/2015
Finding, ordering and receiving the tire I ordered was a snap, will use e-trailer in the future and forward my satisfaction to relatives and friends in need of great prices and service from e-trailer. I needed a spare tire quickly, that is what I got.
by: Steve12/20/2018
Great price, great product, fast and free shipping. Needed to upgrade the worn out tires and wheels on my utility trailer. They look good too!

- Torque Rating for 1/2 Inch Lug Nuts on an Escort Boat TrailerFor 1/2 inch lug nuts like those used with tire and wheel combo # AM3S862 you will want to torque the lug nuts to 75 to 85 foot pounds. It is important to re-torque the lug nuts after 10 miles, 25 miles, 50 miles and then monthly after that.
view full answer... - Increasing Weight Capacity of 2012 Jayco X17ZBecause your set up will only be as strong as its lowest-rated component. You could go with higher rated leaf springs and larger, higher rated wheels/tires, but you'd still be limited by the axle capacity. Therefore, to increase the capacity of your travel trailer, you'll need to replace the axle, springs, hubs, wheels and tires. You'll probably need to relocate the spring hangers. We offer a few off-the shelf replacement axles in standard sizes. If you'd care to reply with the capacity...

- Availability of 15 Inch Trailer Wheel w/ 2.25 Inch Diameter Pilot HoleThe only time it's important that the wheel's pilot diameter matches with that of the wheels you're replacing is you have hub-centric wheels currently. A hub centric wheel uses the portion of the hub that extends through the pilot hole of the wheel to center and support the wheel on the hub. A wheel of this type would use flat headed wheel bolts. A lug centric wheel uses the lug bolts to center the wheel. If the lug bolts are coned, like part # RG02-020 then you have a lug centric wheel. So,...
view full answer... - How to Pick Out a Replacement 5 Lug Trailer RimThe exact information you are looking for I don't have, but I can help you figure out how to get a replacement rim that would work. All we need is two key pieces of information. The bolt pattern and the diameter of the rim. To determine the bolt pattern of the rim check out the FAQ article I attached to the right. To determine the diameter of the wheel the easiest way is to look at the tire size that is stamped on the sidewall of the trailer. The last two numbers will be the diameter...

- Can a Trailer Wheel with Larger Diameter Pilot Hole be Used on the Same HubThe pilot hole diameter only matters in one of two scenarios: First, if the wheel secures to the hub using bolts instead of lug nuts then the pilot hole has to be exact because that is how it centers on the hub. Second, if the wheel secures to the hub using lug nuts but the wheel pilot hole is too small, it just will not fit on the hub. Having a larger pilot diameter on a wheel that secures with lug nuts is fine.
view full answer... - How to Determine Weight Capacity of RV with Higher Rated Suspension and Tire/WheelsWhen you are talking about weight capacity you are limited to the least rated component in your setup. You are correct that the weight capacity of the frame needs to be taken into account as well as using tires, axles, leaf springs, and hubs with higher weight capacities. You can typically find the weight capacity of the frame itself stamped into the frame or on a sticker or label on the frame. The reason that trailer manufacturers can rate their trailer weight capacities a little higher...
view full answer... - Can Trailer Wheel with Larger Center Pilot Hole be Used on Hub that Uses Wheel Bolts, Not Lug NutsActually, no, this is not going to work for you. The problem is that on wheels and hubs that use wheel bolts instead of lug nuts to secure the wheel to the hub, the pilot hole has to be exact because that is how it centers on the hub. Even if it looks like it is all lined up properly it could still be off a little bit because of the larger pilot hole. This will cause some wobbling and lead to tracking problems and premature tire and suspension wear. If you can tell me what the pilot...
view full answer... - Are Light Truck Tires Okay to Use on Travel TrailerTypically, you'll want to use trailer tires only on a travel trailer but the exception would be some of the larger sizes, like 15 or 16 inch. It's fairly common to use Light Truck tires for the larger sizes because they're more readily available than trailer tires in that size are. I'd recommend you find the ID tag on your travel trailer, which will list the recommended tire size. If they recommend 235/75-15LT, then your current size truck tire is just fine.
view full answer... - Are the Trailer Wheel and Tire Combinations BalancedThe trailer tire and wheel combination # AM3S862 is received from the supplier already with the tire mounted on the wheel. The supplier does not balance the combination, but when the tire is installed to the wheel they will line the high (heavy) spot on the tire with the low (light) spot on the wheel. This does not completely balance the tire and wheel combination but it does eliminate any excessive out of balance condition. I would recommend to balance the tire and wheel combination at...
view full answer... - Increasing Rim/Tire Size From 8 to 12 or 13As long as the larger wheel you choose has a compatible bolt pattern with your hub, you have sufficient clearance between the tire and the fender, and you do not exceed the weight capacity of the hub you can switch up to a larger wheel with no problem. If you wanted to go from a hub with a 5 on 4-1/2 to a 5 on 5 bolt pattern I can check for something compatible, if you would provide me with the inner and outer bearing and grease seal reference numbers.
view full answer... - Safe Distance Between Tire and Floor of Trailer when Upgrading to 15 Inch TiresThe rule of thumb when building a trailer is that you should allow 1.5 inches deflection at rated capacity of the spring for approximate full load dimension ( the spring can flatten out as much as 1-1/2 inches ). Then add 3 inches above tires beyond that point for maximum clearance.
view full answer... - Torque Rating Specification For 14 Inch Wheel On Travel TrailerThe torque rating depends on the lug size and type wheel you have on your trailer. I will list the torque specifications for 14 inch wheels. 7/16 inch lug steel wheel 55-65 ft-lb. 1/2 inch lug steel wheel 75-85 ft-lb. 9/16 inch lug steel wheel 95-115 ft-lb. 12 mm steel wheel 70-80 ft-lb. 14 mm steel wheel 85-95 ft-lb.

view full answer... - Upgrading Tires and Wheels on Single Axle Travel TrailerYour existing tires are about 8 inches wide by about 26 to 26-1/2 inches in diameter. The larger 225/75-15 would be about 1/2 inch wider and around 28 inches in diameter, which would only use 3/4 to 1 inch of the available 3-1/2 inches of clearance you mentioned.. From the clearances you mentioned, it sounds like the # AM3S862 would work well for you. This being said, I would recommend you go with a wheel/tire combo that uses a radial tire, like part # AM32459. The combo has a C load rating,...
view full answer... - Can an ST225/75-15 Trailer Tire be Mounted on a 5 Inch Wide Rim on a 5th Wheel TrailerAny 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. As far as who you should believe, our resident tire expert has 30 years in the tire business so I trust his expertise on anything to do with tires/wheels. For an ST225/75-15 tire on a wheel with a 5 on 4-1/2 bolt pattern we have # AM3S862. This tire...

You would have to go up in size in order to get a load range D tire. Your existing tires have a width of 7.7 to 8.1 inches and a diameter of 27.4 inches. They fit on 15 by 5-1/2 inch wheels. The next closest size with a load range D tire is 225/75-15. These tires range in width from 8.4 inches to 8.9 inches and could have a diameter between 28.1 and 28.4 inches. They fit on 15 inch by 6 inch rims so new rims would be required....
view full answer... - Overall Diameter of Loadstar ST225/75D15 Bias Trailer Tire & Wheel Definitely a smart idea to check, and the overall diameter when the tire is inflated is 28.1 inches, and the width is 8.4 inches for the Loadstar ST225/75D15 tire and wheel you asked about, which is the following part number: - Loadstar ST225/75D15 Bias Trailer Tire with 15" White Wheel - 5 on 4-1/2 - Load Range D # AM3S862 The other thing you will need (if you don't have them) are lug nuts, with the correct ones being the Americana Trailer Wheel Lug Nut # AM90049.
view full answer... - Recommended Spare Wheel And Tire For Trailer With 7.60-15 TiresI was able to find that the 7.60-15 tires you have on your tear trailer cross reference to the 225/75/15 tires. With that said we have quite a few options with the 225/75/15 tire and a 15" wheel with 5 on 4-1/2" bolt pattern. The most important thing is to find if your current tires are bias ply or radials, and make the spare the same type. Mixing radials and bais ply tires causes a very unstable ride. If your tires are bias ply I recommend taking a look at the Loadstar ST225/75D15...
view full answer... - What is the Closest Trailer Tire in Size to a P235/75-15 Car TireAs you probably know, car tires should not be used on a trailer. This is because trailer tires are made with a thicker sidewall to handle more vertical load. Car tires are not built this way so it can lead to blow outs. The closest match to a P235/75-15 car tire would be an ST225/75-15 such as # AM3S862 which has the 5 on 5-1/2 bolt pattern. This is a load range D tire rated for 2,540 pounds at 65 psi. The difference in size between these two tire sizes is minimal. The ST225/75-15 will...
view full answer... - Changing Kenda Load Range C Trailer Tire To Load Range DBefore switching to a higher load rated tire, like a load range D or E, you will want to check the weight capacity on your trailer wheels. If you have a steel wheel, the capacity should be stamped on the backside lip of the wheel. If you have an alloy wheel, this rating should be stamped on the back side of the wheel spokes. From the information I was able to obtain, a load range D tire will have a capacity of 2,150 lbs at 65 PSI. Another option would be just to upgrade to a wheel and...
view full answer... - How to Determine the Correct Wheel and Tire Combination for a 1999 Escort Boat TrailerWhen selecting a wheel and tire for your boat trailer you should go with the manufacturer recommendation for tire size or, if there is no manufacturer recommendation, you should use the trailer axle capacity to determine the best wheel and tire combination for your trailer. It sounds as if your trailer axle or axles are going to be rated for 5,000 pounds or more. If you have a tandem axle trailer, it is likely that you have two 3,500 lb axles. The ST225/75D15 tire and wheel combo, # AM3S862,...
view full answer... - What Size Wheel Does a 245/65R17 Tire Fit OnIf you have a 245/65R17 then you have an automobile tire that is compatible with 17" wheels. If you are looking to install tires on your trailer then you really need trailer tires. Trailer tires have a sidewall that is more stiff so they can handle the weight of a trailer much better. We don't have any tire/wheel combos that use a 17" wheel but we do have 225/75-15 combos that come with 15" wheels which have both a 5 on 4-1/2" bolt pattern, like part # AM3S862, or a 6 on 5-1/2" bolt...
view full answer... - 690/600-9 Trailer Tire RecommendationWe have just the tire size that you have, part # AM10040. But we do not carry a rim that will fit this tire. This tire has an overall diameter of 21.1 inches so for a wheel and tire combo that we offer that would have the same diameter you would want the Kenda KR25 ST145R12 Radial Trailer Tire with 12" Aluminum Wheel # AM31208 as it have the same overall diameter and it has the same 4 bolt pattern of your current setup.
