• What Does JJ Mean for a Trailer Wheel
  Your trailer wheels' JJ designation just refers to the shape of the bead seat, which is where the inside edge of the tire contacts the rim. You never really need to worry about this though since the correct 205/75-15 size tires you buy for these rims will automatically have that bead seat profile. If you buy new 15 x 5 rims they again will have this bead profile. The photos of your trailer's sticker shows us that your wheels are 15 x 5-inch size and you noted that you believe they are...

• Recommended Tire Size for 15 x 5 Wheel
  I have a solution for you, but the # AM20422 is a 15" x 5" wheel, which is going to be slightly too narrow for a 235/75/R15 tire. In order to fit a tire of that size you would need at least a 6" wide wheel like the # AM20522, but there may be some issues with using the tires you mentioned since they're designed for passenger vehicles and not a trailer. Typically, you won't want to use a tire with the P- prefix on it as those are designed for passenger tires and not for trailers. Trailer...

• Can Load Range D 145R12 Trailer Tire be Replaced with Load Range E
  There's no reason you couldn't install a Load Range E trailer tire part # AM10140 on your wheels that are 4 lug trailer wheels. As long as your valve stems are rated for the extra pressure you wouldn't have any issues at all. You won't get additional weight capacity though as basically all 4 lug, 12 inch trailer wheels are going to have a 1,250 lb capacity and the tire I mentioned is rated for 1,520 lb.

• Trailer Tire vs. Trailer Wheel Weight Carrying Ratings
  If a trailer tire and wheel each have different weight capacities then the lower-rated item of the two determines the overall capacity of the combination. You can certainly run a tire with a lower or higher weight rating than the wheel its used on but you will be limited to the capacity of the lower-rated component. The key for safe and legal trailering is to ensure that the lowest-rated component is rated adequately for the load on it. Extra capacity in other components is fine but you're...

• How to Check Vehicle Wheel Offset
  In order to use smaller alternate wheels and tires on your Vauxhall Astra GTC you will need to confirm whether they have the same offset as the OEM wheels. Offset is the difference spacing between the center of the tire tread and the wheel mounting surface. The tire center may sit either inward or outward of the wheel's mounting area on the hub. You will want to take one of the alternate tires to a tire shop and have them compare it to one of the OEM wheels. For example, wheel/tire #...

• Can 15 Inch Trailer Tires be Replaced with 16 Inch Trailer TIres
  The first thing you will need to check is if there is enough space around the existing tires to use the larger size. Based on the old size you have, 235/75-15 (which isn't a common trailer tire size) the tires are approximately 28.8 inches tall and 9.25 inches wide. The nearest size up in a 16 would be a 235/80-16 which is 30.9 inches tall and 9.4 inches wide. So the new size would be 2 inches taller and about 3/16 inches wider. The width is probably fine but you will need to make sure...

• Is it Safe to Change the Wheel and Tire Size on a Trailer or Vehicle
  On a trailer it is permissible to change tire sizes provided there is enough clearance all around the old size to use the larger size. On passenger vehicles including motorhomes changing tire sizes will affect the accuracy of the speedometer so it would have to be recalibrated in addition to making sure there is enough clearance.

• Spare 15 Inch Trailer Wheel with 5 on 5 Bolt Pattern to Fit 7.00-15 Sized Tire
  A 7.00-15 sized tire can fit on a 5, 5-1/2, or 6 inch wide rim. If you're measuring the existing rim make sure you're measuring bead seat to bead seat. See the video I attached on meauring a wheel. If you're not measuring bead seat to bead seat, you likely have a 5 inch rim. For a 15 by 5 inch rim with a 5 on 5 bolt pattern, the Dexstar Steel Spoke Trailer Wheel # AM20428 is what you would look at instead of # AM20422 which is the same style wheel with a 5 on 4-1/2 bolt pattern.

• Tires Wearing Out On 6 Month Old Travel Trailer
  If you haven't done a lot of towing with your trailer, it seems the tires you had wore out much too soon. If the tires wore out on the inside, it is almost always due to excessive weight on the trailer. Be sure to check the trailer capacity and stay within the trailer limits. The capacity is set by the axle and other components on the trailer. I recommend checking with the dealer you got the trailer from to see what wheels were placed on the trailer, because trailer wheel capacities...
